Question: Problem 1 . Consider a linear programming problem: minimize _ ( x _ ( 1 ) , x _ ( 2 ) ) ( -

Problem 1. Consider a linear programming problem:
minimize_(x_(1),x_(2))(-x_(1)-x_(2))
subject to:
x_(1)+2x_(2)<=5,
2x_(1)+x_(2)<=4,
x_(1)>=0,x_(2)>=0.
Solve this problem graphically similarly to the way it was done in the notebook. To do this, draw a
feasible set, the objective function, and determine the optimal value and optimal solution.
Write a Lagrangian function for this problem (remember that you need a Lagrangian multiplier for
each constraint, including x_(1)>=0,x_(2)>=0). Write a system of KKT conditions for the problem and
solve this system (hint: graphical solution from the part (1) and complementary slackness conditions
will help you determine which Lagrangian multipliers are equal to zero).
Write a logarithmic barrier problem for the linear programming problem above and show that this is a
convex optimization problem in its feasible region. One of the ways to do it is to look at a logarithmic
barrier for each of the constraints and show that the corresponding Hessian is symmetric positive
semi-definite in the interior of the feasible region. Then the sum of convex functions is convex.
I understand that the question does have instructions, but I am not sure on how to apply those instructions.
