basic acceptions of linear programming

Objective Function - The Objective Function is a linear function of variables which is to be optimised i.e., maximised or minimised. e.g., profit function, cost function etc. The objective function may be expressed as a linear expressio..

Conclusion - The graphical method of solving an LPP is possible only if there are two decision variables (say x and y). This method is not suitable if there are three or more decision variables. In this case, there is a powerful method called 'simplex method'. The wide usage of liner programmi..

Advantages of Linear Programming - The linear programming technique helps to make the best possible use of available productive resources (such as time, labour, machines etc.) In a production process, bottle necks may occur. For example, in a factory some mac..

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..

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..

Linear Programming Problems (LPP) - 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 ..

Introduction - We are already familiar with graphical reorientation of linear equations and inequations. This chapter describes the application of linear equations and inequations in solving different kinds of practical problems. Let us consider few examples to understand what w..
