Abstract
In the simplex method of linear programming,there is a big M method(the penalty factor method) for finding an initial feasible basis.The current textbooks of operations research only explain that the big M method is efficient when M is large enough,and never give precise evaluation to the parameter M.This paper determines a constant M0 and proves that the big M method is convergent to an optimal solution of the primal problem when MM0.
