    Linear Programming History of linear programming goes back as far as 1940s. Main motivation for the need of linear programming goes back to the war time when they needed ways to solve many complex planning problems. The simplex method which is used to solve linear programming was developed by George B. Dantzig‚ in 1947. Dantzig‚ was one in who did a lot of work on linear programming‚ he was reconzied by several honours. Dantzig’s discovery was through his personal contribution‚ during WWII when Dantzig

    Duality in Linear Programming 4 In the preceding chapter on sensitivity analysis‚ we saw that the shadow-price interpretation of the optimal simplex multipliers is a very useful concept. First‚ these shadow prices give us directly the marginal worth of an additional unit of any of the resources. Second‚ when an activity is ‘‘priced out’’ using these shadow prices‚ the opportunity cost of allocating resources to that activity relative to other activities is determined. Duality in linear programming

    An Introduction to Linear Programming Steven J. Miller∗ March 31‚ 2007 Mathematics Department Brown University 151 Thayer Street Providence‚ RI 02912 Abstract We describe Linear Programming‚ an important generalization of Linear Algebra. Linear Programming is used to successfully model numerous real world situations‚ ranging from scheduling airline routes to shipping oil from refineries to cities to finding inexpensive diets capable of meeting the minimum daily requirements. In many of these problems

    The development of linear programming has been ranked among the most important scientific advances of the mid 20th century. Its impact since the 1950’s has been extraordinary. Today it is a standard tool used by some companies (around 56%) of even moderate size. Linear programming uses a mathematical model to describe the problem of concern. Linear programming involves the planning of activities to obtain an optimal result‚ i.e.‚ a result that reaches the specified goal best (according to the mathematical
