Constrained and unconstrained optimization. Linear Programming: formulation, geometric solution, simplex method, and duality. Network flow models: Transportation, Assignment, Shortest Path, and ...

Learn some techniques for visualizing linear programming solutions using graphs, tables, and software tools. Understand the feasible region, the objective function, and the optimal solution.

Linear programming models can use various algorithms, such as the simplex method or the interior point method, to search for the optimal solution among the feasible region, which is the set of all ...

The course will be in 2 parts, covering the two most prominent tools in operational research: mathematical optimisation, the application of sophisticated mathematical methods to make optimal decisions ...

The simulation results of the IEEE-39 bus system and the French 1888 bus system verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and show that the proposed method has high computational efficiency. 2 ...

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 ...

Operations Research, Vol. 33, No. 4 (Jul. - Aug., 1985), pp. 803-819 (17 pages) We present methods that are useful in solving some large scale hierarchical planning models involving 0-1 variables.
