 *  Given an m-by-n matrix A, an m-length vector b, and an

 *  Assumes that b >= 0 so that x = 0 is a basic feasible solution.

 *  slack variables in columns m through m+n-1.

/**
 *  The {@code LinearProgramming} class represents a data type for solving a
 *  linear program of the form { max cx : Ax &le; b, x &ge; 0 }, where A is an
 *  m-by-n matrix, b is an m-length vector, and c is an n-length vector.
 *  For simplicity, we assume that A is of full rank and that b &ge; 0
 *  so that x = 0 is a basic feasible solution.
 *  <p>
 *  The data type supplies methods for determining the optimal primal and
 *  dual solutions.
 *  <p>
 *  This is a bare-bones implementation of the <em>simplex algorithm</em>.
 *  It uses Bland's rule to determine the entering and leaving variables.
 *  It is not suitable for use on large inputs.
 *  <p>
 *  This computes correct results if all arithmetic performed is
 *  without floating-point rounding error or arithmetic overflow.
 *  In practice, there will be floating-point rounding error
 *  and this implementation is not robust in the presence of
 *  such errors.
 *  <p>
 *  For additional documentation, see
