Chapter 6.5, Problem 5P

Explanation of Solution

Duals of LP:

  • Consider the linear programming problem given below:
  • max z= x1+2x2
  • Subject to constraints:
    • 3x1+x26
    • 2x1+x2=5
    • x1,x20

a.

  • To find the dual of the above LP proceed as follows:
  • Step 1:
Max z
min w(x10)(x20)  
 x1x2  
(y10)y1316
 y221=5*
 12  
  • Step 2:
    • In this case, the second primal constraint is equality and therefore dual variable y2 is now unrestricted in sign(urs).
    • The asterisk (*) sign represents the places where rules must be applied to determine part of the dual

Explanation of Solution

b.

  • As the above linear programming problem is not a normal max problem, therefore the following steps are to be performed to convert it into a normal form.
  • Step 1: Multiply each constraint by -1 as mentioned below:
    • There is no constraint in this LP.
  • Step 2:
    • Replace the equality constraint 2x1+x2=5 by two inequality constraints as,
      • 2x1+x25
      • 2x1x25
  • Step 3:
    • Now replace each urs variable xi by xi=xi'xi'' as there is no urs variable in the given LP.
  • Now write the transformed LP as,
  • max z= x1+2x2
  • Subject to constraints:
    • 3x1+x26
    • 2x1+x25
    • 2x1x25
    • x1,x20
  • Construct the following table according to the given LP,
Min W(x10)(x20)  
 x1

Explanation of Solution

c.

  • Now put y2=y2'y2'' in the part (b) answer. So that,
  • min w= 6y1+5y2
  • Subject to constraints
    • 3y1+2y21
    • y1+y22
    • y10,y2 urs
  • Since,
  • y2

Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
