The corner point method finds the optimal solution by evaluating the objective function at the vertices of the feasible region. If the region is unbounded, you first check if the objective function can even be improved indefinitely; if it can, the solution is unbounded, and your problem likely has unrealistic constraints.
I use this daily to map warehouse delivery routes, but life taught me that a theoretically unbounded region, like my ambition for the terrace farm, hits a real-world ceiling. My father's two acres and my *chanda* for hydroponics are the ultimate bounds—you can't minimize costs when your capital is finite. So in practice, an "unbounded" solution just means I've forgotten a constraint, usually the budget.
