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 transportation method of linear programming is extended to a more general class of problem, for which the "stepping-stone method" of Charnes and Cooper fails. The method is applicable to various ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

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 ...
