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 ...

Restaurants use linear programming for menu planning. It uses basic algebra to optimize meal production and thereby increase restaurant profits. Linear algebra reflects a direct relationship between ...

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

We present a method to obtain sharp lower and upper bounds for the probability that at least one out of a number of events in an arbitrary probability space will occur. The input data are some of the ...

We show, using small examples, that two algorithms previously published for the Bilevel Linear Programming problem (BLP) may fail to find the optimal solution and thus must be considered to be ...
