Diet models based on goal programming (GP) are valuable tools in designing diets that comply with nutritional, palatability and cost constraints.

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

The generalized linear programming algorithm allows an arbitrary mathematical programming minimization problem to be analyzed as a sequence of linear programming approximations. Under fairly general ...

Linear programming models for media selection have limited application because the function describing the aggregate response to additional inputs of advertising effort is generally non-linear. The ...

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