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

To employ linear programming in production-planning problems in the chemical industry it is often necessary to make a linear model of plant which seems highly non-linear. An approach with some ...

Concave objective functions which are both piecewise linear and separable are often encountered in a wide variety of management science problems. Provided the constraints are linear, problems of this ...
