Additional nonlinear constraints can be added to the lp.apm model for nonlinear programming solution with support for possible mixed-integer variables. The solution is returned in the structure y with y.names (variable names), y.values (variable values), y.nvar (number of variables), and...
prerequisites, a systematic progress is made toward the central theory of computational methods of linear programming and finally toward nonlinear methods including integer and quadratic programming, multiple objective problems (using solution concepts of efficiency), goal programming and zero-sum game ...
the popularity of linear programming lies primarily with the formulation phase of analysis rather than the solution phase—and for good cause. For one thing, a great number of constraints and objectives that arise in practice are indisputably linear. Thus, for example, if one formulates a problem...
Linear Programming by Jim Burke - University of WashingtonThese are notes for an introductory course in linear programming. The four basic components of the course are modeling, solution methodology, duality theory, and sensitivity analysis. We focus on the simplex algorithm due to George Dantzig. ...

If either of the problems (15.1) and (15.2) has a finite optimal solution, so has the other, and the corresponding values of the objective functions are equal. If either problem has an “unbounded optimum”, then the other problem has no admissible solut
Linear programming can also be used to solve complex logistical problems, such as a schedule production runs, determine optimal transportation routes, and minimize inventory costs. An advantage of linear programming over nonlinear programming is the ability to handle a large number of variables and ...
Next we define the nonlinear programming problem, point out its main theoretical features, and briefly elaborate upon its history and relevance. Finally, we present the most important methods for the solution of nonlinear programming problems, both constrained and unconstrained. For the second kind, ...
Step 2: Stop if the primal and dual values of the objective functions are approximately equal. Else set k=k+1 and repeat from step 1. Note that in step 2 we use an important result in linear programming. This is that if a solution exists, every primal problem (that is, the original...
