MODELING WITH LINEAR
PROGRAMMING
CHAPTER 2
1
◦ A Linear Programming model seeks to maximize or minimize a linear
function, subject to a set of linear constraints.
◦ The linear model consists of the following
components:
◦ A set of decision variables that we seek to determine.
◦ An objective function that we need to optimize(maximize or minimize).
◦ A set of constraints that the solution must satisfy.

Two variable LP Problem
First we discuss the graphical solution of a twovariable LP.
Though two-variable problems hardly exist in
practice, the treatment provides concrete
foundations for the development of the general
simplex algorithm

Example

Some constraints
◦ The daily demand for interior paint cannot exceed that for
exterior paint by more than 1 ton.
◦ Also, the maximum daily demand for interior paint is 2 tons.
Reddy Mikks wants to determine the
optimum (best) product mix of interior
and exterior paints that maximizes the
total daily profit

The Graphical Analysis of Linear
Programming
The set of all points that satisfy all the
constraints of the model is called a
FEASIBLE REGION

The feasible solution space is ABCDEF
in which all the constraints are
satisfied (verify!).
All points outside the boundary of the
area ABCDEF are infeasible.
