"""Revised simplex method for linear programming
The *revised simplex* method uses the method described in [1]_, except
that a factorization [2]_ of the basis matrix, rather than its inverse,
is efficiently maintained and used to solve the linear systems at each
iteration of the algorithm.

"""
Modifies original problem to create an auxiliary problem with a trivial
initial basic feasible solution and an objective that minimizes
infeasibility in the original problem.
Conceptually, this is done by stacking an identity matrix on the right of
the original constraint matrix, adding artificial variables to correspond
with each of these new columns, and generating a cost vector that is all
zeros except for ones corresponding with each of the new variables.
A initial basic feasible solution is trivial: all variables are zero
except for the artificial variables, which are set equal to the
corresponding element of the right hand side `b`.
Runnning the simplex method on this auxiliary problem drives all of the
artificial variables - and thus the cost - to zero if the original problem
is feasible. The original problem is declared infeasible otherwise.
Much of the complexity below is to improve efficiency by using singleton
columns in the original problem where possible, thus generating artificial
variables only as necessary, and using an initial 'guess' basic feasible
solution.

Solve the following linear programming problem via a two-phase
revised simplex algorithm.::
minimize: c @ x
subject to: A @ x == b
0 <= x < oo
User-facing documentation is in _linprog_doc.py.
Parameters
----------
c : 1-D array
Coefficients of the linear objective function to be minimized.
c0 : float
Constant term in objective function due to fixed (and eliminated)
variables. (Currently unused.)
A : 2-D array
2-D array which, when matrix-multiplied by ``x``, gives the values of
the equality constraints at ``x``.
b : 1-D array
1-D array of values representing the RHS of each equality constraint
(row) in ``A_eq``.
x0 : 1-D array, optional
Starting values of the independent variables, which will be refined by
the optimization algorithm. For the revised simplex method, these must
correspond with a basic feasible solution.
callback : callable, optional
If a callback function is provided, it will be called within each
iteration of the algorithm. The callback function must accept a single
`scipy.optimize.OptimizeResult` consisting of the following fields:
x : 1-D array
Current solution vector.
fun : float
Current value of the objective function ``c @ x``.
success : bool
True only when an algorithm has completed successfully,
so this is always False as the callback function is called
only while the algorithm is still iterating.
slack : 1-D array
The values of the slack variables. Each slack variable
corresponds to an inequality constraint. If the slack is zero,
the corresponding constraint is active.
con : 1-D array
The (nominally zero) residuals of the equality constraints,
that is, ``b - A_eq @ x``.
phase : int
The phase of the algorithm being executed.
status : int
For revised simplex, this is always 0 because if a different
status is detected, the algorithm terminates.
nit : int
The number of iterations performed.
message : str
A string descriptor of the exit status of the optimization.
postsolve_args : tuple
Data needed by _postsolve to convert the solution to the standard-form
problem into the solution to the original problem.
Options
-------
maxiter : int
The maximum number of iterations to perform in either phase.
tol : float
The tolerance which determines when a solution is "close enough" to
zero in Phase 1 to be considered a basic feasible solution or close
enough to positive to serve as an optimal solution.
disp : bool
Set to ``True`` if indicators of optimization status are to be printed
to the console each iteration.
maxupdate : int
The maximum number of updates performed on the LU factorization.
After this many updates is reached, the basis matrix is factorized
from scratch.
mast : bool
Minimize Amortized Solve Time. If enabled, the average time to solve
a linear system using the basis factorization is measured. Typically,
the average solve time will decrease with each successive solve after
initial factorization, as factorization takes much more time than the
solve operation (and updates). Eventually, however, the updated
factorization becomes sufficiently complex that the average solve time
begins to increase. When this is detected, the basis is refactorized
from scratch. Enable this option to maximize speed at the risk of
nondeterministic behavior. Ignored if ``maxupdate`` is 0.
pivot : "mrc" or "bland"
Pivot rule: Minimum Reduced Cost (default) or Bland's rule. Choose
Bland's rule if iteration limit is reached and cycling is suspected.
unknown_options : dict
Optional arguments not used by this particular solver. If
`unknown_options` is non-empty a warning is issued listing all
unused options.
Returns
-------
x : 1-D array
Solution vector.
status : int
An integer representing the exit status of the optimization::
0 : Optimization terminated successfully
1 : Iteration limit reached
2 : Problem appears to be infeasible
3 : Problem appears to be unbounded
4 : Numerical difficulties encountered
5 : No constraints; turn presolve on
6 : Guess x0 cannot be converted to a basic feasible solution
message : str
A string descriptor of the exit status of the optimization.
iteration : int
The number of iterations taken to solve the problem.
