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.

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 ...

In comparing long- and short-term commitments to fulfill demand for some kind of capacity, a linear formulation of the problem may prove useful. The general capacity-planning problem treated here is ...
