Abstract

This research aims at generating the topological fixed point iterative scheme for the simplex method of linear programming problems in optimization as exemplied in the optimization of the flight attendants' hiring problem of the Nigerian Airways company displayed in section three. The generated main result in section two reaffirms that the traditional simplex
method reviewed in section one is the Picard's fixed point iterative method which is seen illustrated in section three.
