Mitchell The Revised Simplex Method: An Example 1 / 22
Our example
Consider the following example with initial simplex tableau:
M0 =
#ratio x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7
�4 0 1 �3 2 �5 1 02 2 1 �1 1� 1 2 �1 0� 1 0 4 �2 1 1 3 1
basic sequence S = (1, 7).

The initial pivot matrix is Q1, found by “doing unto the identity as youwould do unto M0”:

Find the pivot column
We will choose x2 as the next pivot column in the second iteration.
In order to finish the first iteration, we need to calculate the x2 columnof the tableau:

Second iteration
Use products of pivot matrices
The updated tableau is M2 = Q2M1.
However, we don’t know M1 explicitly, so we need to exploit the factthat M1 = Q1M0, so M2 = (Q2Q1)M0, by the associativity property ofmatrix multiplication.
We first calculate the matrix product P2 = Q2Q1:
P2 = Q2Q1 =

2 1 �1 1 1 2 -1� 01 0 4 -2� 1 1 3 1
S = (1, 7).
We found an optimal solution with basic variables x3 = 7 and x6 = 5.
We can first check that x3 = 7, x6 = 5 does indeed satisfy theconstraints, with value �12. X

Checking the solution
Pivoting to create canonical form
By pivoting on the two indicated entries, we can construct a tableauwhere x3 and x6 are the basic variables.
Provided our answer above was correct, the resulting tableau shouldhave b � 0 and c � 0. Pivot first on entry a16:
M0 =
x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7�4 0 1 �3 2 �5 1 0
2 1 �1 1 1 2 -1� 01 0 4 -2� 1 1 3 1

basic sequence S = (6, 7).

Now pivot on entry a23:
x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7�2 1 0 �2 3 �3 0 0�2 �1 1 �1 �1 �2 1� 0

S = (6, 3).
Thus, we do indeed get a tableau in optimal form. X
