Topics in Linear Programming

1

Introduction and Basic Concepts

  • Linear Programming Problems arise from real-world optimization situations
  • These problems involve finding maximum profit, minimum cost, or optimal resource allocation
  • The furniture dealer example: maximizing profit from buying tables and chairs with limited money and storage
2

Mathematical Formulation

  • Decision variables represent the quantities to be determined (x and y)
  • Objective function is the linear function to be optimized
  • Constraints are linear inequalities that limit the feasible solutions
3

Graphical Method of Solution

  • Graph each constraint as a line and identify the feasible half-plane
  • The feasible region is the intersection of all constraint half-planes
  • Corner points (vertices) of the feasible region are potential optimal solutions
4

Corner Point Method

  • Step 1: Find the feasible region and identify all corner points
  • Step 2: Evaluate the objective function at each corner point
  • Step 3: Select the corner point giving maximum/minimum value as required
