r"""
Linear programming: minimize a linear objective function subject to linear
equality and inequality constraints.
Linear programming solves problems of the following form:
.. math::
\min_x \ & c^T x \\
\mbox{such that} \ & A_{ub} x \leq b_{ub},\\
& A_{eq} x = b_{eq},\\
& l \leq x \leq u ,
where :math:`x` is a vector of decision variables; :math:`c`,
:math:`b_{ub}`, :math:`b_{eq}`, :math:`l`, and :math:`u` are vectors; and
:math:`A_{ub}` and :math:`A_{eq}` are matrices.
Informally, that's:
minimize::
c @ x
such that::
A_ub @ x <= b_ub
A_eq @ x == b_eq
lb <= x <= ub
Note that by default ``lb = 0`` and ``ub = None`` unless specified with
``bounds``.
Parameters
----------
c : 1-D array
The coefficients of the linear objective function to be minimized.
A_ub : 2-D array, optional
The inequality constraint matrix. Each row of ``A_ub`` specifies the
coefficients of a linear inequality constraint on ``x``.
b_ub : 1-D array, optional
The inequality constraint vector. Each element represents an
upper bound on the corresponding value of ``A_ub @ x``.
A_eq : 2-D array, optional
The equality constraint matrix. Each row of ``A_eq`` specifies the
coefficients of a linear equality constraint on ``x``.
b_eq : 1-D array, optional
The equality constraint vector. Each element of ``A_eq @ x`` must equal
the corresponding element of ``b_eq``.
bounds : sequence, optional
A sequence of ``(min, max)`` pairs for each element in ``x``, defining
the minimum and maximum values of that decision variable. Use ``None`` to
indicate that there is no bound. By default, bounds are ``(0, None)``
(all decision variables are non-negative).
If a single tuple ``(min, max)`` is provided, then ``min`` and
``max`` will serve as bounds for all decision variables.
method : {'interior-point', 'revised simplex', 'simplex'}, optional
The algorithm used to solve the standard form problem.
:ref:`'interior-point' <optimize.linprog-interior-point>` (default),
:ref:`'revised simplex' <optimize.linprog-revised_simplex>`, and
:ref:`'simplex' <optimize.linprog-simplex>` (legacy)
are supported.
callback : callable, optional
If a callback function is provided, it will be called at least once per
iteration of the algorithm. The callback function must accept a single
`scipy.optimize.OptimizeResult` consisting of the following fields:
x : 1-D array
The current solution vector.
fun : float
The current value of the objective function ``c @ x``.
success : bool
``True`` when the algorithm has completed successfully.
slack : 1-D array
The (nominally positive) values of the slack,
``b_ub - A_ub @ x``.
con : 1-D array
The (nominally zero) residuals of the equality constraints,
``b_eq - A_eq @ x``.
phase : int
The phase of the algorithm being executed.
status : int
An integer representing the status of the algorithm.
``0`` : Optimization proceeding nominally.
``1`` : Iteration limit reached.
``2`` : Problem appears to be infeasible.
``3`` : Problem appears to be unbounded.
``4`` : Numerical difficulties encountered.
nit : int
The current iteration number.
message : str
A string descriptor of the algorithm status.
options : dict, optional
A dictionary of solver options. All methods accept the following
options:
maxiter : int
Maximum number of iterations to perform.
Default: see method-specific documentation.
disp : bool
Set to ``True`` to print convergence messages.
Default: ``False``.
autoscale : bool
Set to ``True`` to automatically perform equilibration.
Consider using this option if the numerical values in the
constraints are separated by several orders of magnitude.
Default: ``False``.
presolve : bool
Set to ``False`` to disable automatic presolve.
Default: ``True``.
rr : bool
Set to ``False`` to disable automatic redundancy removal.
Default: ``True``.
For method-specific options, see
:func:`show_options('linprog') <show_options>`.
x0 : 1-D array, optional
Guess values of the decision variables, which will be refined by
the optimization algorithm. This argument is currently used only by the
'revised simplex' method, and can only be used if `x0` represents a
basic feasible solution.
Returns
-------
res : OptimizeResult
A :class:`scipy.optimize.OptimizeResult` consisting of the fields:
x : 1-D array
The values of the decision variables that minimizes the
objective function while satisfying the constraints.

Notes
-----
This section describes the available solvers that can be selected by the
'method' parameter.
:ref:`'interior-point' <optimize.linprog-interior-point>` is the default
as it is typically the fastest and most robust method.
:ref:`'revised simplex' <optimize.linprog-revised_simplex>` is more
accurate for the problems it solves.
:ref:`'simplex' <optimize.linprog-simplex>` is the legacy method and is
included for backwards compatibility and educational purposes.
Method *interior-point* uses the primal-dual path following algorithm
as outlined in [4]_. This algorithm supports sparse constraint matrices and
is typically faster than the simplex methods, especially for large, sparse
problems. Note, however, that the solution returned may be slightly less
accurate than those of the simplex methods and will not, in general,
correspond with a vertex of the polytope defined by the constraints.
.. versionadded:: 1.0.0
Method *revised simplex* uses the revised simplex method as described in
[9]_, except that a factorization [11]_ of the basis matrix, rather than
its inverse, is efficiently maintained and used to solve the linear systems
at each iteration of the algorithm.
.. versionadded:: 1.3.0
Method *simplex* uses a traditional, full-tableau implementation of
Dantzig's simplex algorithm [1]_, [2]_ (*not* the
Nelder-Mead simplex). This algorithm is included for backwards
compatibility and educational purposes.
.. versionadded:: 0.15.0
Before applying any method, a presolve procedure based on [8]_ attempts
to identify trivial infeasibilities, trivial unboundedness, and potential
problem simplifications. Specifically, it checks for:
- rows of zeros in ``A_eq`` or ``A_ub``, representing trivial constraints;
- columns of zeros in ``A_eq`` `and` ``A_ub``, representing unconstrained
variables;
- column singletons in ``A_eq``, representing fixed variables; and
- column singletons in ``A_ub``, representing simple bounds.
If presolve reveals that the problem is unbounded (e.g. an unconstrained
and unbounded variable has negative cost) or infeasible (e.g., a row of
zeros in ``A_eq`` corresponds with a nonzero in ``b_eq``), the solver
terminates with the appropriate status code. Note that presolve terminates
as soon as any sign of unboundedness is detected; consequently, a problem
may be reported as unbounded when in reality the problem is infeasible
(but infeasibility has not been detected yet). Therefore, if it is
important to know whether the problem is actually infeasible, solve the
problem again with option ``presolve=False``.
If neither infeasibility nor unboundedness are detected in a single pass
of the presolve, bounds are tightened where possible and fixed
variables are removed from the problem. Then, linearly dependent rows
of the ``A_eq`` matrix are removed, (unless they represent an
infeasibility) to avoid numerical difficulties in the primary solve
routine. Note that rows that are nearly linearly dependent (within a
prescribed tolerance) may also be removed, which can change the optimal
solution in rare cases. If this is a concern, eliminate redundancy from
your problem formulation and run with option ``rr=False`` or
``presolve=False``.
Several potential improvements can be made here: additional presolve
checks outlined in [8]_ should be implemented, the presolve routine should
be run multiple times (until no further simplifications can be made), and
more of the efficiency improvements from [5]_ should be implemented in the
redundancy removal routines.
After presolve, the problem is transformed to standard form by converting
the (tightened) simple bounds to upper bound constraints, introducing
non-negative slack variables for inequality constraints, and expressing
unbounded variables as the difference between two non-negative variables.
Optionally, the problem is automatically scaled via equilibration [12]_.
The selected algorithm solves the standard form problem, and a
postprocessing routine converts the result to a solution to the original
problem.

Examples
--------
Consider the following problem:
.. math::
\min_{x_0, x_1} \ -x_0 + 4x_1 & \\
\mbox{such that} \ -3x_0 + x_1 & \leq 6,\\
-x_0 - 2x_1 & \geq -4,\\
x_1 & \geq -3.
The problem is not presented in the form accepted by `linprog`. This is
easily remedied by converting the "greater than" inequality
constraint to a "less than" inequality constraint by
multiplying both sides by a factor of :math:`-1`. Note also that the last
constraint is really the simple bound :math:`-3 \leq x_1 \leq \infty`.
Finally, since there are no bounds on :math:`x_0`, we must explicitly
specify the bounds :math:`-\infty \leq x_0 \leq \infty`, as the
default is for variables to be non-negative. After collecting coeffecients
into arrays and tuples, the input for this problem is:
>>> c = [-1, 4]
>>> A = [[-3, 1], [1, 2]]
>>> b = [6, 4]
