Program Plan Intro
Linear
- The linear programming(LP) is also known as linear optimization.
- Consider a mathematical model, and its requirements are used to represent by the linear relationships. The linear programming is the best method to achieve the best outcome of this mathematical model. The outcomes may be, maximum profit or lower cost.
- The linear optimization is also called as mathematical optimization because, it is a special case of mathematical programming.
- More formally, the LP is a technique for optimizing linear objective function subject to constraints of linear equality and linear inequality.

A farmer is planning to raise wheat and barley. Each acre of wheat yields a profit of $50, and each acre of barley yields a profit of $70. To sow the crop, two machines, a tractor and a tiller are rented. The tractor is available for 150 hours, and the tiller is available for 200 hours. Sowing an acre of wheat requires 4 hours of tractor time and 1 hour of tilling. Sowing an acre of barley requires 3 hours of tractor time and 2 hours of tilling. How many acres of each crop should be planted to maximize the farmer’s profit? (Let W be the number of acres of wheat to be planted, B the number of acres of barley to be planted and P the profit) What is the objective function for the problem? Excluding the non-negative constraint, how many constraints does the problem have? What is the linear programming model of the problem? In the initial tableau, what is the leaving variable?

You wish to drive from point A to point B along a highway minimizing the time that
you are stopped for gas. You are told beforehand the capacity C of you gas tank in liters,
your rate F of fuel consumption in liters/kilometer, the rate r in liters/minute at which you
can fill your tank at a gas station, and the locations A = x1, ··· , B = xn of the gas stations
along the highway. So if you stop to fill your tank from 2 liters to 8 liters, you would have
to stop for 6/r minutes. Consider the following two algorithms:
(a) Stop at every gas station, and fill the tank with just enough gas to make it to the next
gas station.
(b) Stop if and only if you don’t have enough gas to make it to the next gas station, and
if you stop,fill the tank up all the way.
For each algorithm either prove or disprove that this algorithm correctly solves the problem.
Your proof of correctness must use an exchange argument.

If the company invests 100,000 USD or less, their profit will be based on 75,000 USD as first 25,000 USD goes to set up the business in the first place. For the first 100,000 USD, the profit margin is low: 4.5%. Therefore, for every 100 dollar they spend, they get a profit of 4.5 dollar. For an investment greater than 100,000 USD, for the first 100,000 USD (actually on 75,000 USD as 25,000 is the setup cost), the profit margin is 4.5% where for the rest, it goes up to 8%. For example, if they invest 250,000 USD, they will get an 8% profit for the 150,000 USD. In addition, from the rest 100,000 USD, 25,000 is the setup cost and there will be a 4.5% profit on the rest 75,000. Investment will always be greater or equal to 25,000 and multiple of 100.
