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 ...

Five integer linear programming models are posed, each based on a different optimality criterion dealing with manpower smoothing. By means of two hypothetical examples the models are tested for their ...
