Fundamental Theorems Theorem 1 Let R be the feasible region (convex polygon) for a linear programming problem and let Z = ax + by be the objective function. When Z has an optimal value (maximum or ...

(Hint: The decision variables for this problem represent the percentage of beef and the percentage of pork to combine.)"<BR><BR>Normally, to solve such a problem, I identify the decision variables ...

These 0-1 programming problems initially could not be solved with any standard techniques. We employed several approaches to take advantage of the hierarchical structure of variables (ordered by ...

The paper surveys the progress that has been made with the problem of solving linear programming problems when some or all variables are required to take integer values. It is pointed out that there ...
