Degeneracy occurs when the number of occupied squares is bigger than the number of rows plus the number of columns minus one.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Degeneracy in the context of linear programming (specifically in the simplex method) occurs when the number of basic variables is less than the number of non-zero elements in the basis solution, or equivalently, when at least one of the basic variables is zero. The statement given incorrectly describes the condition for degeneracy.
