报告内容简介：

Each linear program (LP) has an optimal basis. The space of linear programs can be partitioned according to these bases, so called the basis partition. Discovering the structures of this partition is our goal. We represent the space of linear programs as the space of projection matrices, i.e. the Grassmann manifold. A dynamical system on the Grassmann manifold is used to characterize the basis partition as follows: From each projection matrix associated with an LP, the dynamical system defines a path and the path leads to an equilibrium projection matrix which determines the optimal basis of the LP. All projection matrices which lead to an optimal basis form a set, and these sets partition the Grassmann manifold. Properties of the dynamical system, e.g. eigenvalues and eigenvectors, stable and unstable manifolds, etc, provide useful tools for constructing the partition.
