System of multiple inequalities

29 Views Asked by At

in a Math class we are currently working with Farka's Lemma in order to determine if systems of equations have a solution. In order to do this we need to often find out if systems of multiple inequalities have solutions.

One such example is:

$\ x +z+r≥\theta$

$\ x +y+r≥\theta$

$\ y +z+r≥\theta$

$\ -y -z-r≥\theta$

$\ 2x+2y +2z+1<\theta$

In this case I was told that there is a solution to this system, however I was wondering if there is a general approach I can use to determining if such a system has a solution. In order to use the parkas Lemma I don't need a specific solution, just if there is one or not.

Thank you very much a already in advance,
