11 Background: Lexicographic Order June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 11

12 Vectors Comparing two vectors in lexicographic sense e.g. [5, 4, 1, 7, 4] [5, 4, 0, 9, 8 ] Lex-positive vector First non-zero element is positive e.g. [0, 4, -1, -7, -4], [5, -4, 1, -7, 4] are lexicographically positive vectors e.g. [ ], [ ] are lexicographically negative vectors Lex-min vector Out of [ ],[ ], [ ]; [ ] is lex-min vector June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 12

13 Lexicographic Simplex Method June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 13

14 The Linear Programming Problem Objective Function Constraint Set d-decision variables m-constraints June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 14

15 Example June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 15

16 Nature of Constrained Region (0.5,0.5,1.5) (1,1,1) (0,1,1) (0,0,1) (1,1,0) (0,1,0) (1,0,0) (0,0,0) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 16

17 Relationship between inequalities and Vertex: Geometric intuition of Degeneracy Highlighted inequalities are tight at (0,0,1) (0,0,1) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 17

18 Relationship between inequalities and Vertex: Geometric intuition of Degeneracy (0,0,1) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 18

19 Relationship between Co-Basis and Vertex: Geometric intuition of Degeneracy (0,0,1) is a degenerate vertex There are ways of specifying the vertex (0,0,1) In general this number are ways of representing a degenerate vertex, where n=total number of inequalities that are tight at that vertex d=number of dimensions This number can get very large very quickly. One of the places where simplex and by implication reverse search runs into problems. June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 19

20 How to solve this LP? Rearrange inequalities to decide a starting vertex Introduce slack variables Convert to matrix form Convert to dictionary form June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 20

21 Starting Simplex at a vertex: Rearrangement of the inequalities Rearrange the inequalities so that last 'd' inequalities contain initial vertex (0.5,0.5,1.5) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 21

22 Define Slack Variables Convert inequalities to equalities by introducing slack variables Original variables are called decision variables June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 22

23 Our Example June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 23

24 Our Example June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 24

25 Terminology d decision variables m constraints Hence m slack variables Basis: B: Ordered m-tuple indexing set of m affinely independent columns of A Co-basis: N: Ordered d-tuple indexing remaining d columns : Sub-matrix of A indexed by B June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 25

26 Our example We define initial basis as Hence initial co-basis is June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 26

27 Our example is invertible Is a Basic Feasible Solution(BFS) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 27

28 Add a cost row Add a cost row at the top June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 28

29 Our example June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 29

30 Converting Linear program to the dictionary format June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 30

31 Derive the dictionary from matrix form June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 31

32 Our example Cost function value At current vertex The vertex June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 32

33 Dictionary Format Change in Cost Corresponding to each Co-basic Variable Cost Corresponding To Dictionary Basic Indices Co-Basic Indices Solution Corresponding To Dictionary June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 33

34 Redefine a bit Basis: B: Ordered m+1-tuple indexing set of m+1 affinely independent columns of dictionary & Dictionary is to serve as starting point Call this the solution of the initial dictionary or the initial Call this the initial implying that initial basis is identity matrix June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 34

35 Our example Basis Cost The vertex June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 35

36 Simplex Algorithm: The Ingredients It travels from one vertex to another, or more specifically one BFS to another BFS For that it uses pivoting operation to obtain the dictionary corresponding to new BFS. A co-basic variable assumes a nonzero value and is said to 'enter' the basis A basic variable 'leaves' the basis We get a new dictionary which is 'equivalent' to current dictionary in algebraic terms, i.e. It carries the same solution This new dictionary is obtained by means of 'pivot operation'. June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 36

37 Choosing the entering variable Choose the entering variable that brings about an increase in cost One of these is supposed to assume a nonzero value Only a negative coefficient at will do as it will mean that is positive and results in an increase in cost If there are many such co-basic variables, choose the one with least subscript If there are no such co-basic variables, current dictionary is optimal and current BFS is the optimum June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 37

38 Choosing entering variable Basis June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 38

39 Choosing the leaving variable Recall lexicographic order Construct following matrix: June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 39

40 Choosing the leaving variable Let and consider the column. If this column defines an extreme ray. Otherwise, let be the index such that is lexicographically minimum vector of: Such a minimum is unique as has full row rank This notation can be abbreviated as, In case there is no such we set June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 40

41 Choosing the Leaving Variable Basis June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 41

42 Lexicographic choice of leaving variable June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 42

43 Where to get after each successive iteration? Let be current basis inverse and be the next basis inverse and differ only in 1 column We can take advantage of this fact and write Pre-multiplication by elementary matrix corresponds to row operations Hence, we get new basis inverse by some row operations June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 43

44 The pivot Operation June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 44

45 This is how to get after each is given as: successive iteration June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 45

46 This is how to get after each successive iteration Row multiplication Operation Row corresponding to pivot element is divided by pivot element Hence pivot operation automatically yields new basis inverse June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 46

47 Result of pivot (5,11) Basis: Co-Basis: Basis Identity column June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 47

50 Iteration Basis Cost The vertex June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 50

51 Pivot(5,11) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 51

52 Iteration 2 You Are Here. (0.5,0.5,1.5) (1,1,1) (0,1,1) (0,0,1) (1,1,0) (0,1,0) (1,0,0) (0,0,0) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 52

54 pivot(4,10) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 54

55 Iteration 3 (0.5,0.5,1.5) (1,1,1) You Are Still Here. Blame degeneracy! (0,1,1) (0,0,1) (1,1,0) (0,1,0) (1,0,0) (0,0,0) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 55

57 pivot(6,12) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 57

58 Iteration 4 (0.5,0.5,1.5) (1,1,1) (0,1,1) (0,0,1) (1,1,0) You Are Here. (0,1,0) (1,0,0) (0,0,0) June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 58

59 Iteration 4 Basis: Co-Basis:4 5 6 Basis June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 59

60 Observations Lexicographic simplex method doesn't travel through all the bases corresponding to a vertex It only visits bases that are lex-positive Recall A basis is lex-positive if the rows indexed d+1,...,m of D are lex-positive Lexicographic pivot rule is reversible! is reversible June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 60

61 Reverse Search: The Recipe Start with dictionary corresponding to the optimal vertex Ask yourself 'What pivot would have landed me at this dictionary if i was running simplex?' Go to that dictionary by applying reverse pivot to current dictionary Ask the same question again Generate the so-called 'reverse search tree' June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 61

62 What pivot would have landed me at this dictionary if i was running simplex? June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 62

63 Pitfalls Initial basis not being the unique optimum basis Degeneracy of other vertices: One vertex corresponding to many (actually too many) bases Can result in program outputting a vertex more than once Earlier version rs suffered from all these June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 63

64 Initial Basis not the unique optimum basis Reverse search must begin at the optimal vertex corresponding to any cost. In rs, one would have to find all possible bases corresponding to initial vertex and perform reverse search on them. In lrs, we define initial cost in such a way that initial vertex has a unique Basis We define cost as: This cost makes the top row of the dictionary June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 64

65 Degeneracy of vertices Define lex-min bases Clearly if (i)-(iii) was to be true, we could do and get that is lexicographically smaller than summarizes the operation June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 65

66 Evolution of lrs All possible Bases Very few vertices rs BFS >> Vertices A reduced set of bases Called lex-positive Bases lex-positive BFS> Vertices A reduced set of bases Called lex-min Bases Lex-min BFS = Vertices June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 66

67 Recall these functions June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 67

68 Pseudo-code June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 68

69 Pseudo-code Examine each cobasic column of dictionary by reverse to see if there exists a lex positive pivot using this column Reverse will be executed d times for each dictionary X Reverse(a)=p Cobasis={a,b,c} Cobasis={p,b,c} 1 June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 69

70 Pseudo-code X Reverse(a)=0 Cobasis={a,b,c} Reverse(b)=? June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 70

71 Pseudo-code When whie loop terminates, return to the parent of current node: backtrack Correct j is restored by selectpivot Subsequent j=j+1 means next cobasic element of the parent comes under consideration Backtrack X Cobasis={a,b,c} Reverse(c)=0 Reverse(a)=0 Reverse(b)=0 June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 71

72 Pseudo-code Execution continues until all the columns of the starting dictionary are examined June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 72

ASPITRG 74

75 Conclusion Lexicographic reverse search is an improved reverse search for vertex enumeration It is robust- not affected by degeneracy Yet, it travels more bases than there are vertices, hence requiring lot of computational power June 29,2012 Jayant Apte. ASPITRG 75

Indices B-B*= must be brought into basis Every pivot will involve subtracting a certain row vector from cost row Since B is also optimum It follows that is lexicographicallly negative June 29,2012 Jayant Apte.
