This paper describes the Criss-Cross Method of solving linear programming problems. The method, a primal-dual scheme, normally begins with a problem solution that is neither primal nor dual feasible, ...

Solving linear programming problems in a spreadsheet yields equations for maximizing business profits. As applied to business, linear programming typically involves an objective formula, such as unit ...

The problem of locating p maximally dispersed points in a convex space is considered. This problem is formulated as a non-linear programming problem. It is shown that this problem, in a square, is ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

As the title suggests, I have a problem in which I need to formulate an LP model. I'm supposed to work in Excel and use the Solver Add-in feature.<BR><BR>I've done several other problems already, but ...

Constrained optimisation problems are familiar to first-year economics students from the use of indifference curves to solve consumer choice and cost minimisation problems. But the most commonly used ...

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 ...
