In linear programming, the objective function is the function that it is desired to maximize or minimize. The human interaction equivalent is what matters most. Agreement on that, and on the steps ...

Fundamental Theorems. Theorem 1 Let R be the feasible region (convex polygon) for a linear programming problem and let Z = ax + by be the objective function.When Z has an optimal value (maximum or ...

Theorem 2: Let R be the feasible region for a linear programming problem, and let Z = ax + by be the objective function.If R is bounded**, then the objective function Z has both a maximum and a ...
