Linear Programming is a mathematical technique used to optimize a linear objective function, subject to a set of linear constraints. The formulation of an LP model involves:
1. Decision Variables: Represent the choices to be made.
2. Objective Function:
A linear function to be maximized or minimized.
3.Constraints :
Linear inequalities or equations that restrict the values of decision variables.
Non-negativity Restrictions – Ensures variables are zero or positive, representing real-world quantities.

This was a great introduction to linear programming. I’d love to see a follow-up solving a real-life logistics problem with constraints.

ReplyDeleteGlad to simplify it for you! Practice is key with LPPs.
