Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

This paper describes the installation of a planning system in a food factory, based on the use of linear programming. Owing to the seasonal nature of many of the parameters, it is essential to use a ...

To employ linear programming in production-planning problems in the chemical industry it is often necessary to make a linear model of plant which seems highly non-linear. An approach with some ...
