INTRODUCTION TO LINEAR PROGRAMMING

What do you mean by general LPP?

  • Linear Programming is a mathematical technique for choosing the best alternative from a set of feasible alternatives, in situations where the objective function as well as the restrictions or constraints can be expressed as linear mathematical function.

Define Slack, Surplus variables

  • Slack Variable: If the constraints of a given LPP be S aij xj £ bi   then the non-negative variable Si which are introduced to convert the inequalities to equalities
                           S aij x+ Si  =   b    are called slack variables.

  • Surplus variable: If the constraints of a given LPP be S aij xj ³ b  then the nonnegative variable Si which are introduced to convert the inequality  
                           constraints to the equations S aij x-  Si   =   b are called surplus variables.
