<div>Dear All,<br> <br>I am new to Scilab and I'm wondering if anyone can help me solve the following minimization problem in linear programming using Scilab:</div>
<div><br>1. Apply Karmarkar's algorithm to solve<br>Minimize -<br>x1 - 2x2 + 4x5subject to<br>x2 - x3 = 0<br>2<br>x1 - 2x2 + 4x3 - 4x5 = 0x<br>1 + 2x2 + x4 - 4x5 = 0x<br>1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 1x<br>1, x2, x3, x4, x5 >= 0<br>
<br>2. Apply the primal affne scaling algorithm to solve<br>Minimize -<br>2x1 + x2subject to<br>x1 - x2 + x3 = 15x<br>2 + x4 = 15x<br>1, x2, x3, x4 >= 0<br>Hint: The optimal solution is<br>x* = [30 15 0 0]T with optimal value -45.</div>

<div>Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</div>
