We prove that the classic policy-iteration method [Howard, R. A. 1960. Dynamic Programming and Markov Processes. MIT, Cambridge] and the original simplex method with the most-negative-reduced-cost ...

A computational procedure is given for finding the minimum of a quadratic function of variables subject to linear inequality constraints. The procedure is analogous to the Simplex Method for linear ...

Eventually linear programming came to be used in everything from manufacturing to diet planning. George Bernard Dantzig was born in Portland, Ore., on Nov. 8, 1914.
