A routine written in IML to solve this problem follows. The approach appends slack, surplus, and artificial variables to the model where needed. It then solves phase 1 to find a primal feasible ...

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 ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

A model developed to aid a state-level resource allocation process in the United States Department of Agriculture Special Supplement Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is presented.
