Assignment Problem (Hungarian): Does increasing a match-specific payoff always make it more likely to be selected?

I'm thinking about the assignment problem for assigning $I$ workers to $I$ tasks (let $I=J$ so there are the same number). Suppose that each possible assignment yields a payoff of $u_{ij}$. I want to ... user avatar ABC

Prove that a standard form primal LP has a nondegenerate optimum if the corresponding dual form LP's optimal is unique & nondegenerate

This is Exercise 4.13 from Bertsimas' Introduction to Linear Optimization. The original question asks that the standard form primal optimum is unique and nondegenerate iff the dual is unique and ... user avatar Yash Kumar

My linear program has multiple optimal solutions. I want that corner point at which the value of one of the variables is the maximum?

Is there a way to find the optimal point with this special property in polynomial time? Note that the polytope in the linear program may be unbounded. user avatar Zing
