Constraints The linear inequalities or restrictions on the variables of an LPP are called constraints. The conditions x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 are called non-negative constraints.

The Constraints (aka inputs) First, the rules of the game must be established in the form of operating constraints, which form the “dimensions of the field” that the solver will ultimately play in.

Diet models based on goal programming (GP) are valuable tools in designing diets that comply with nutritional, palatability and cost constraints. Results derived from GP models are usually very ...
