Overview

Linear programming is a special type of optimisation problem. It deals with finding the maximum or minimum value of a linear objective function subject to linear constraints and non-negative restrictions on the variables. The chapter develops the graphical method for two-variable problems and shows

Key Concepts

A linear function of the form

A linear function of the form Z = ax + by that is to be maximised or minimised. In the furniture example, the objective function is Z = 250x + 75y, wh

Linear inequalities or equations that restrict

Linear inequalities or equations that restrict the values of the variables. In the furniture example, the constraints are 5x + y ≤ 100, x + y ≤ 60, x

The variables whose values are

The variables whose values are to be decided, such as x and y in the furniture example.

The common region determined by all

The common region determined by all constraints, including the non-negative constraints. It is always a convex region.

Any point within or on

Any point within or on the boundary of the feasible region.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the meaning of a linear programming problem and its mathematical formulation.
  • Identify decision variables, constraints, objective function, feasible region, and feasible solution.
  • Use the graphical method to solve two-variable linear programming problems.
  • Apply the corner point method to find maximum or minimum values of the objective function.
  • Recognise bounded and unbounded feasible regions and their effect on optimal solutions.
