Catalog Description

Linear programming models. Graphical solutions. Interpretation of solutions.The simplex method, duality, sensitivity analysis, and related topics.

Course Objectives

The goal of this course is to teach formulating and solving complex optimization problems via linear programming models. It aims to teach the graphical method and simplex algorithm and also cover sensitivity analysis and duality to illustrate how a given solution can be utilized to gain a more general understanding of the analyzed scenario under different conditions. Applications of linear programming to some fundamental problems such as transportation, assignment and transshipment problems are also presented.
