Theorem
linear program 1 in standard equation form has an optimal
Ig a
solution then it has an optimal solution then it has an optimal
solution that is an extreme point solution
, Extreme point
Claim an optimal solution I is not an extreme
If point then
we can find a feasible solution with Ix z EE and
has one more zero entry than x
Proof
If I is not an extreme point then we can write it as a
convex combination
I Xy t l l X E
where X E lo il and E Z And E feasible

Since is optimal
