Simplex Linear Programming

Features
Read full description

Master the mechanics of Linear Programming with an industrial-grade, visual Simplex solver. Whether you are an undergraduate student tackling Operations Research homework or an engineer optimizing complex systems, this app provides a high-performance, native environment to solve and visualize linear models. Built with Apple’s Accelerate Framework (vDSP), the engine performs hardware-accelerated matrix operations for desktop-class speed on your mobile device. Why this is the ultimate optimization tool: Visualize the Feasible Region: See your constraints come to life on an interactive Canvas. Plot the quadrant, identify intersection points, and explore the feasible region with intuitive gestures. The Simplex Journey: Watch the algorithm navigate from the origin to the optimal solution. Our "Visual Walker" tracks every iteration, highlighting each vertex transition with a clear, orange path. Professional Grade Logic: Full support for Big-M and Two-Phase methods. Easily handle ≤, ≥, and = constraints without needing to manually convert your model. Precision Entry: Clean, monospaced interface featuring color-coded inputs for coefficients, objective goals, and variable signs. Education-First Design: Perfect for learning the geometry behind the algebra. Follow the path, analyze the coordinate labels, and see exactly where the "Optimal" solution sits in the coordinate plane. Purely Native: No web wrappers or lag. Experience a fluid SwiftUI interface designed for "Engineering Soul"—performance, clarity, and reliability. Student & Professional Value Proposition For Students: Use it as a powerful "Check Your Work" tool. Compare your manual pivot steps against the visual path and verify your feasible region boundaries. For Professionals: Quickly prototype constraints and objectives on the go with a solver that respects hardware limitations and mathematical rigor.
