In this paper we report on the solution to optimality of 10 large-scale zero-one linear programming problems. All problem data come from real-world industrial applications and are characterized by ...

In the classical secretary problem an employer would like to choose the best candidate among n competing candidates that arrive in a random order. In each iteration, one candidate's rank vis-a-vis ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

Marshall, Paul W. "Linear Programming: A Technique for Analyzing Resource Allocation Problems." Harvard Business School Background Note 171-322, January 1971. (Revised November 1975.) ...

Students will learn the foundations of linear programming, properties of optimal solutions and various solution methods for optimizing problems involving a linear objective function and linear ...

Integer linear programming can help find the answer to a variety of real-world problems. Now researchers have found a much faster way to do it. The traveling salesperson problem is one of the oldest ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

The death of mathematician George Dantzig is a scientific watershed. Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large organizations.

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 ...
