Linear programming (LP), also called linear optimization, is a method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a mathematical model whose requirements and objective are ...

Ezzati et al. (A new algorithm to solve fully fuzzy linear programming problems using the MOLP problem. Appl Math Model. 2015;39(12):3183-3193) introduced a lexicographic criterion for ranking ...

A tentative solution to the general schedule-sequencing problem is presented in a linear-programming form. Feasible solutions hinge on work recently presented on integer solutions to ...

Integer linear programming can help find the answer to a variety of real-world problems. Now researchers have found a much faster way to do it. The traveling salesperson problem is one of the oldest ...

The Lagrangian problem can thus be used in place of a linear programming relaxation to provide bounds in a branch and bound algorithm. This approach has led to dramatically improved algorithms for a ...
