Study Notes

Linear Programming Overview

  • The main objective of linear programming is to optimize a linear objective function, subject to a set of constraints, to achieve the best outcome.

Meaning of 'Linear'

  • The term 'linear' in linear programming refers to the fact that the objective function and the constraints are expressed as linear equations or inequalities.

Applications of Linear Programming

  • Linear programming is widely used in various fields, including business, economics, engineering, and management, to solve decision-making problems involving resource allocation and optimization.

Representation of Constraints

  • In linear programming, the constraints are typically represented as linear equations or inequalities, such as ≤, ≥, or =, to define the boundaries of the problem.

Meaning of 'Programming'

  • The term 'programming' in linear programming refers to the process of planning or scheduling the optimal allocation of resources, rather than computer programming. It involves finding the best course of action to achieve a particular goal or objective.
