learn to maximize a two-variable linear programming problem with the graphical method: plot constraints in the first quadrant, form the feasible region, evaluate corner points, and choose the optimum.
Apply the graphical method to a minimize type linear programming problem; plot constraints in the first quadrant, identify the feasible region, evaluate the objective at corner points, and select optimum.
Solve linear programming problems using the simplex method, converting to standard and canonical forms, building the initial simplex table, and performing iterations to reach optimality.
Form dual linear programs from primal ones using duality; convert between max and min objectives, adjust constraint directions, handle unrestricted variables, and split equality constraints as needed.
Learn to solve linear programming with the dual simplex method, form the dual from the primal, use canonical form and slack variables, and find x1=0, x2=10/3.
Linear programming or linear optimization is a process which takes into consideration certain linear relationships to obtain the best possible solution to a mathematical model. It is also denoted as LPP. It is used for obtaining the most optimal solution for a problem with given constraints. In linear programming we formulate our real-life problem into a mathematical model. It involves an objective function, linear inequalities with subject to constraints. Linear programming (LP also called linear optimization) is a method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a mathematical model whose requirements are represented by linear relationships. Linear programming is a special case of mathematical programming (also known as mathematical optimization).
Linear programming can be applied to various fields of study. It is widely used in mathematics and to a lesser extent in business, economics and for some engineering problems. Industries that use linear programming models include transportation, energy, telecommunications and manufacturing. It has proven useful in modeling diverse types of problems in planning, routing, scheduling, assignment and design.
