Summary : The Topo-geometric approach MZ requires notions of both vector geometry and affine geometry, and also uses topology concepts to transform the elementary notions of presenting a linear program problem. These different forms or presentation models of problems related to the Topo-geometric approach MZ are initially presented in this article and will be followed by elementary results demonstrated by the use of the supported objects of the supported model. Thus, this article is the precursor of the determination of redundant constraints by the Topo-geometric model MZ. The energized objects will thus constitute the language of the proofs of the subsequent propositions.

Keywords : Linear programming, mathematical writing of the model, writing of the Topo-geometric model MZ, algorithm.

1 INTRODUCTION

This paper constitutes the basis of the Topo-geometric

2.2 Indexes

It is a positive or null integer that will be attached to an object of a model, as a unique identifier. Symbolically the indexes will be represented by i, j, k…

To represent the possible values of an index, the following notions will be used:

xi

i = 1, 2…n meaning that the index i varies from 1 to n. When an objective x of a model is an index, one writes:

i1,…,n

which is a condensed representation of :

the existing operations and relationships will be analyzed; the representation of technical constraints by affine half-spaces is the most important part of this work.

2 THE MEAN OBJECTIVES

To fully exploit the indexes, the symbol (summation)

will also be used.

So, to represent

c1x1 c2 x2 ….. cn xn , it will be simply written:

A scalar is any real number. Symbolically, a scalar will be represented with a Latin or Greek or lowercase letter.

3 THE ELEMENTARY OBJECTS

    1. Decision spaces

      Take again the problems LPP in its known form which

      To each decision, variable xj

      vector U j .

      corresponds the unit

      consists of finding the unknown-real x1 , x2 ,….., xn , and maximize:

      The affine space n , equipped with the reference O,U1 ,U2 ,….,Un is called the decision space

      Z c1.x1 c2 x2 …. cn xn

      (3.01)

      relating to the LPP problem to be solved.

      And which satisfy the following

      a x a x …. a x b

      Despite this striking resemblance to Euclidean affine geometry, a limiting aspect will be presented from the start.

      11 1 i2 2 1n n 1

      conditions :

      a21 x1 a22 x2 … a2n xn b2

      a x a x …. a x b

      (3.02)

    2. Postulate

      In the topo-geometric theory MZ, the orthonormal affine

      m1 1

      m2 2

      mn n n

      frame of the decision space action of the problem LPP to be

      i) x1 0, x2 0….., xn 0

      where the coefficients:

      cj j 1, …, n

      (3.03)

      solved is unique.

      This assumption means that :

      • The concept of basic change does not exist.

      • The concept of change of origin does not exist.

        aij i 1, …., n j 1, …., n

        bi i 1, n

        Each line of the conditions (3.02) is called a technical constraint.

        Conditions (3.03) are called non-negativity constraints.

        Definition 3.01: decision-action-point-vectors We call decision-action any n-tuple :

        x1

        However, following a presolved analysis, it may be possible that n changes, which completely modifies the LPP problem.

  1. OPERATIONS ON ACTION-DECISIONS

Given an LPP problem, according to definition 3.01, a decision is represented by a point in the decision-action space and / or by a vector of the vector space n

This dual nature (both affine and vectorial) of decision- actions is very important.

It allows to express :

The creation of other stock-decisions based on existing stock-decisions

2

x Whose

x

n

x1, x2 ,…, xn are elements of

The search for other decision-actions according to a given direction.

It will be noted later :

x j j 1, …, n

Mathematically, we see that it is an element of n relative to a given base. It is also a point in the affine space n relative to a given landmark.

An action decision will be represented by an affine

point. Which brings us to the decision-action definition? Notation : an action decision is noted using a capital Greek letter: A, B, X, Y

Definition 3.02: decision marker – action – decision space

We call decision-action benchmark, the positive orthonormal geometric benchmark, noted :

O,U ,U , ….,U

    1. Amplifier of an action decision

      Let the decision-action space relate to the reference.

      Let X0 be an action decision and a given positive real number.

      We call amplifier of X0 using , the generation of an action decision X such that

      X = X0

      Mathematically, it is therefore the multiplier of vector X0 by the scalar

    2. Addition of two decision-actions

      Let X0 and X1 be two decision-actions in a LPP problem. The addition of X0 and X1 is called the creation of a new action decision X such that

      X = X0 + X1

      Note 4.01

      1 2 n

      related to the aforementioned LPP problem. In this reference, the geometric origin O has a particular meaning : it represents the decision to do nothing, that is, if

      xo1

      O = x , x x x …. x = 0

      The combination of 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 allows us to model the conic combination concept of two or more action-decisions. Let the decision-actions X 1, X 2… X k.

      The conic combination of these decisions is the new decision X defined by:

      X = 1 X 1 + 2 2 + … + k X k

      o2

      01 02 03 0n

      x

      0n

      1, 2 …., k are positive real numbers or zero.

      Note 4.02

      From the previous remark, it is clear that the decision satisfies the constraint (2.03) if it is a conic combination of U1, U2 … Un, that is to say:

      X = 1U1 + 2U2 + … + nUn with 1 0, 2 0 n 0 Let's show that it is reciprocal and true.

      Let X be an action decision satisfying the constraint (2.03)

      X = (x ji ) with x ji 0

      but

      n

      (xj) x jU j with x j 0

      j 1

    3. Search axe defined by decision-action Xo and direction the vector decision-action V

      Let X0 and V be action-decisions.

      We call search axis starting from X o and direction U the set of decision actions, noted (X0, V) defined by

      (X0, V) = {X n / X = X0 + V, with and 0}

      Mathematically, it is the affine ray derived from X0 and the vector V.

      Conceptually, the research idea is justified by the fact that in practice, any solver is based on a search algorithm starting from an initial point.

      Thus, from a given decision-action X0, and a given search direction V, one can search the points in the universe of

  1. THE TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS

    In practice, any action-decision always has an impact. In the field of linear programming, two categories of impacts can be distinguished :

      • Impact-performance.

      • Resource impacts.

        In this study, we only deal with the impact-resources.

        Definition 5.01 resource impact

        Let X be an action decision point of a given LPP problem. Let V be a null vector of n .We call resource impact according to V, the scalar product of X and V in n

        noted:

        (X, V) = <X, V>

        Where <X, V> denotes the scalar product U with V.

        The vector V is called unit consumption vector V of the given resource.

        Definition 5.02 constraint resources

        In our theory, we assume that a constraint that is logical or material may be associated with a resource that is always limited in the associated LPP problem.

        Let A = (aj) j = 1… n be a vector V of consumption of a given resource.

        Let b be the limit value of the resource, the zone of respect of the consumption of the resource limited by b is the set noted ZR (A, b) defined by :

        decisions that will satisfy the constraints (3.02) and (3.03).

        This research idea is not confined to a single research

        ZR (A, b) = X n /

        A, X

        b

        (5.01)

        direction. It is also possible to adopt simultaneously two

        search directions V1 and V2. Hence the concept of research plan ", Starting from X0 and direction V1 and V2.

        In affine geometry, this set is none other than the negative half-space delimited by the noted affine hyperplane. HP (A, b) defined by:

          1. Plan of research starting from a decision-action X0 and directions V1 and V2

            HP (A, b) = X n /

            A, X

            b

            (5.02)

            Let X0 be a decision-action point and V1 and V2 two decision-action vectors of it.

            We call search plane starting from X0 and directions V1 and V2 , the set noted P (X0 ,V1, V2 ) defined as follows :

            P (X0, V1, V2,) = {X n / X = X0 + 1 V1 + 2 V2, where

            1 + and 2 +}

            NB: The vector A is not an action-decision it is linked to a

            given resource and allows to calculate the impact of an action X decision on this resource

  2. The constraints of non-negativity

The non-negativity constraints translate the fact that the elementary decisions xi, where i = 1… n must be non- negatives, is :

By generalizing, we have :

xi 0

i = 1, 2… n

Let us note immediately that the relations :

    1. Research of X0 direction and V1, V2… Vk, vectors decisions

Let X0 be a decision-action point associated with a LPP.

Let V1, V2…Vk, k decision- action vectors of the same problem LPP.

We call vertex cone X0 and directions V1 , V2 , ….,Vk , the action decision set denoted:

C (X0, V1, V2… Vk) defined as follows: C (X0, V1, V2… Vk).

It should be noted at once that research axes and research

plans are only special cases of research axes.

xi 0 i = 1, 2… n can be written:

xi 0 i = 1, 2… n Expression equivalent to:

Ui , X 0

Therefore, a non-negativity constraint can also be considered as a resource constraint delimited by ZR Ui , 0 called non-negativity zone ZNNi.

However the combination of all non-negativity constraints has a particular geometric meaning that we call " non- negativity cone ".

    1. non-negativity cone

      0

      We call non-negativity cone noted C the cone of search

      from point-decision O and direction of all decision vectors :

      Ui , i 1, 2,…., n

      Geometrically we have:

      The acceptable solution area associated to the constraint :

      Ai X bi, i = 1 , 2 , . . . , m, i / k

      of the system .

      The kth constraint :

      Ak X b k (1 k m)

      is redundant for the system (7.01) if and only if S = Sk.

    2. Non-negativity face

      It is to be recalled that the geometric topo reference of the LPP problem is immutable (O, U0, U2…, Un).

      This means that we cannot change the place of a vector Ui of this reference, for all i, for all

      i = 1, 2…, n.

      We call the non-negativity face, denoted by FNNi, the decision point set defined as follows:

      P O,U1,Un for i 1

      FNNi

      P O,Ui 1 ,Ui for i 2, 3,…, n

    3. Non-negativity axes

      For all i = 1, 2… n, we call non-negativity axis, ANNi , the set of decision point defined as follows :

      ANNi =R (O, Ui) i = 1.2… n (6.02)

      Note that ANNi is none other than the search axis starting from O and with the direction Ui.

      Recall the concept of redundant constraints.

  1. REDUNDANT CONSTRAINTS

    A redundant constraint is a

    constraint which can be deleted from a system of

    linear constraints without changing the feasible region or acceptable solution area.

    If we look at the next system of m and n constraints

    of linear inequality, no negative (m n), we can adopt the matrix writing:

    ATi X = bi for all X S.

  2. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MZ OBJECTS

The relationships described in this section are the basic ones. More complex relationships will be discussed in the next chapter.

Moreover, the combinations between point-decisions and point-vectors have already been seen. Therefore, only the following points will be dealt with:

  • The relation between a decision-point and a constraint- technical zone.

  • The relation between a research axis and a zone of technical constraints.

  • The relation between a research plan and a zone of technical constraints.

8.1 Relationship between a decision- point and a technical constraint zone

Since a point-decision is represented with a point, and a zone of technical constraints is represented by a half-space, a set of decision-point, the essential same basic relation between one of these two object classes, is the ensemblist relation of belonging.

Let X0 be a decision point and ZCT (A, b) a constraint zone. The relationship

X0 ZCTA, b means A, X0 b

But

AX B, X 0, (7.0)

Since in the LPP problem model, the constraints are indexed, i.e. numbered from 1 to n, the corresponding

Let

AT i bi

be the i th constraint of system (7.01) and let

S = {X n

This makes it possible to represent the system of techniques as follows:

Let X0 be a decision-point satisfying all the technical constraints of the problem.

We have :

R /ATi X bi, X 0}

The acceptable solution area associated with the system (7 .01).

Let

S k = {X R n/ ATi X b, X 0, i k}

This can be written :

Relationship that is a basis for redundancy and infeasibility analysis.

Moreover, when X0 does not belong to a ZCTi, we also say that X0 is exterior to ZCTi as the outer term, and its inner

        2. Internal orientation

          We say that V has an internal orientation with respect

          This distance is also called the distance from the point Xo to the hyperplane HP (Ai, bi).

          8.1.2 Orientation of the vector Ai with respect to ZCTi Proposition 8.01

          The vector is always oriented from inside to outside of

          to ZCTi, if <V, Ai> is strictly negative.

      1. Characterization of an Inner Point of ZCTi

  1. Let X0 be a point inside ZCTi.

    According to 2.7.1.3.1, there exists a strictly positive reality r such that the ball whose center is X0 and with a radius r is entirely contained in ZCTi.

    Logically, this means that if X0' designates the projection of

    X0 on HP Ai , bi , then the distance between X0 and X0 ' is equal to :

    Proof:

    Let's first show the first inclusion :

    and it is obvious that the ball whose center is X0 and radius r is entirely included in ZCTi, which means that X0 is an

    Moreover, according to Proposition 8.01, Ai is always oriented towards the outside of ZCTi so X1 do not belong to ZCTi.

    So X1 belongs to the open ball of center X0 and radius r. Finally, let us show that the open ball of center X0 and radius r contains points of ZCTi other than X0.

        Which means that X2 belongs to ZCTi.

        In summary, every strictly positive real number in the open ball of center X0 and radius r contains both elements of ZCTi other than X0 and elements of ZCTi.

        This means that X0 is a frontier point of ZCTi.

            Consider an area of ZCTi technical constraints. Let also be the radius R(X0, V) coming from X0 and direction vector V, representing a search axis. This relationship is based on the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the equation :

            Fr ZCTi

            So we have

            i i i 0

            Proof:

            Since the two objects are sets of decision points, the main combination that can be imagined between them is the intersection. In addition, since the area of technical constraint is closed and the hyperplane HP (Ai, bi) is closed, we will be much more interested in the intersection of the

            The zone of technical constraints ZCTi is topologically

            closed.

            Proof :

            Let X0 be a point not belonging to ZCTi (where ZCTi denotes the complement of ZCTi in the affine space).

            As

            X0 ZCTi

            radius R (X0, V) with this boundary HP (Ai, bi). Indeed, if X0 is outside of ZCTi, then such an intersection gives us the point of entry from the outside to the inside of ZCTi along the radius. On the other hand, if X0 is inside ZCTi, it gives the exit point of ZCTi.

            Let I denote this point of intersection : as I belongs to R

            (X0, V)

            We have I X0 V avec 0

            So Since I also belongs to HP (Ai, bi), we can write :

            Ai , X0 bi

            Ai , I bi

            Let X0' be the projection of X0 on HP Ai , bi . We showed

            By combining these two relationships, we have

            that :

            The distance between Xo and X0 is equal to :

            Ai , X0

            V bi

            b A X

            By developing, we get

      The equation :

The concept of research implies that there is a situation or

8.3 Relationship between a search-plane C(X0, V 1, V 2) with linearly independent to V1 and V2 and a of ZCTi technical constraints zone

As for section 8.2, these two objects are sets of decision

points, so this section will describe their intersection. Let I be such a point. It is thus of the form :

In this section, the starting point of the search is the point X0, which is supposed to be located in the ZNN non- negativity zone. Since the new decisions found must have remained in ZNN, it is logical to study the conditions under which this search leads us out of ZNN. And as in the case of ZCTi technical constraint zones, we will need to define the boundary concept in ZNN.

For ZNNi, there is no problem. Indeed,

        The fact that X HP (-Uj, o) Co means that xi 0, i = 1… n and that xj0

        Let us take the point X' = (x'i) i = 1… n defined as follows :

        It is obvious that r> 0 and that the open ball B (X, r) is included in ZNN.

        X' ZNN and has X'' ZNN Moreover, it is also obvious that :

        X' B (X, r) and X'' B (X, r)

        This shows that the open ball B (x, r) contains both the point X 'which is the element outside ZNN and the point X'' which is the element in ZNN, and it is obvious that X' is different from X and that X'' is different from X.

        Therefore X is a border point of ZNN.

        2nd step:

        Let us show that HP (-U , 0) C

        In other words, the ZNN border is none other than the conic wall meeting of non-negativity.

        And in summary, HP (-Uj, 0) is indeed a ZNN border and point is the point of contact or intersection

        their meeting is also a border of ZNN.

        In addition, let X be a point of ZNN such that :

        Similarly

        Proposition 8.07

        The research axis is in the non-negativity zone ZNN only if IN (V) is non-empty. In this case, the exit point I is given by :

        with the condition j 0 .

        Based on the results of section 5.2, we can say that the

        that is, if

        Given that R X0 ,V is a totally ordered set, the exit point of I such that verify:
