areas of applying linear programming

Transportation Problem - Goods have to be transported from sources (like factories) to destinations (like warehouses) on a regular basis. The transportation problem deals with minimising the costs in doing so. Linear programming effectively deals with this proble..

The mathematical models which tells to optimise (minimize or maximise) the objective function Z subject to certain condition on the variables is called a Linear programming problem (LPP)...

Limitations of Linear Programming - Linear programming is applicable only to problems where the constraints and objective function are linear i.e., where they can be expressed as equations which represent straight lines. In real life situations, whe..

(a). Linear programming is applicable only to problems where the constraints and objective function are linear i.e., where they can be expressed as equations which represent straight lines. In real life situations, when constraints or objective functions are not ..

Introduction - The mathematical models which tells to optimise (minimize or maximise) the objective function Z subject to certain condition on the variables is called a Linear programming problem (LPP). During World War II, the military managements in the U.K and the USA engaged..

The standard form of the linear programming problem is used to develop the procedure for solving a general programming problem. A general LPP is of the form Max (or min) Z = c 1 x 1 + c 2 x 2 + +c n x n x 1 , x 2 , ....x n are called decision variable. subject to the c..

Some of the methods of linear programming are: The Graphical Method The Analytical Method The Simplex Method In the graphical method, the constraints are actually drawn as straight lines and the optimal solution is found. This method is explained in detail later. The graphical m..

There are mainly four steps in the mathematical formulation of linear programming problem as a mathematical model. We will discuss formulation of those problems which involve only two variables. 1. Identify the decision variables and assign symbols x and y to them. T..
