Solving linear programming problems in a spreadsheet yields equations for maximizing business profits. As applied to business, linear programming typically involves an objective formula, such as ...

Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

In the linear programming approach to approximate dynamic programming, one tries to solve a certain linear program-the ALP-that has a relatively small number K of variables but an intractable number M ...

When solving simultaneous equations with a linear and quadratic equation, there will usually be two pairs of answers.

Operations Research, Vol. 33, No. 4 (Jul. - Aug., 1985), pp. 803-819 (17 pages) We present methods that are useful in solving some large scale hierarchical planning models involving 0-1 variables.

The death of mathematician George Dantzig is a scientific watershed. Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large ...
