This paper describes some rules for combining component models into complete linear programs. The objective is to lay the foundations for systems that give users flexibility in designing new models ...

Introductory Example: Linear Programming Models: Interior Point algorithm Consider the Linear Programming problem in the "An Introductory Example" section in the chapter on the LP procedure.

Three examples of the applications of linear programming are given, drawn from the manufacture of plywood, the distribution of grain, and industrial fermentation. In each of these widely different ...
