Evaluating z at these points, we obtain the maximum value of z occurs when x 4 and y 0. In this chapter you will learn how linear inequalities and their graphs can be used to model a different set of practical situations, such as determining the mix of products in a supermarket to maximise pro. Navy, fractional solutions clearly are meaningless, since the optimal number is. Bigm method an alternative to the twophase method of finding an initial basic feasible solution by minimizing the sum of the artificial variables, is to solve a single linear program in which the objective function is augmented by a penalty term.
In addition, any integer feasible point is always a lower bound on the optimal linearprogram objective value. There are three steps in applying linear programming. A linear programming problem consists of a linear objective function of decision variables which is to be minimized or maximized, subject to a certain set of linear constraints on decision variables.
