In linear programming, the objective function is the function that it is desired to maximize or minimize. The human interaction equivalent is what matters most. Agreement on that, and on the steps to ...

There’s an old adage in business: “Don’t tell me your priorities; show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what your priorities are.” In today’s data-driven environment, in which efficient resource ...

The input argument fun refers to an IML module that specifies a function that returns f, a vector of length m for least-squares subroutines or a scalar for other optimization subroutines. The returned ...

This paper presents three algorithms for solving linear programming problems in which some or all of the objective function coefficients are specified in terms of intervals. Which algorithm is ...

The problem is considered of maximizing a function in a convex region. To solve this problem a new method is developed, to be called "method of feasible directions". It is a method of steep ascent.
