The simplex method implementation for this problem fails with an error in the

``Incorrect loop, more iterations than the number of basic solutions''.
This error message appears when the simplex method does not
converge in the expected maximum number of iterations. The large number of
iterations (793 before forced termination) is caused by an ``oscillation'' or
iterations (11 before forced termination) is caused by an ``oscillation'' or

trivial positivity constraints at the axes (i.e. the constraints different from
$4x +2y \leq 8$ do not make a difference in the feasability region).
The system has 2 variables and 3 constraints, other than the positivity checks
on the variables. But, for what said above, 2 out of the three constraints are
useless and thus make the feasibility region defined like a 1-condition problem.
This lack of ``useful'' condition may cause a ill-defined set of constraints
that could produce two equally ``good'' not-optimal solutions, thus causing the
infinite loop in the simplex algorithm.
