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