Linear Programming • Objective function • Linear equations (equalities) • Linear inequalities • Linear equations and linear inequalities are referred to as linear constraints
Diet Problem • Objective function • Feasible solution • Optimal solution • Optimal value: 92.5
Linear programming problems • Unique optimal solution • Many optimal solutions • No optimal solutions • Infeasible problems
Linear programming problems • Unique optimal solution • Many optimal solutions • No optimal solutions • Infeasible problems • Unbounded problems
Reading Assignment • Review linear algebra • Vectors • Matrices • Matrix multiplication • Matrix inversion • Gauss-Jordan reduction • Linear independence and basis • Subspaces
