OBSOLETE SYMBOL

LinearProgramming[c,m,b]

finds a vector x that minimizes the quantity c.x subject to the constraints m.xb and x0.

LinearProgramming[c,m,{{b1,s1},{b2,s2},}]

finds a vector x that minimizes c.x subject to x0 and linear constraints specified by the matrix m and the pairs {bi,si}. For each row mi of m, the corresponding constraint is mi.xbi if si==1, or mi.x==bi if si==0, or mi.xbi if si==-1.

LinearProgramming[c,m,b,l]

minimizes c.x subject to the constraints specified by m and b and xl.

LinearProgramming[c,m,b,{l1,l2,}]

minimizes c.x subject to the constraints specified by m and b and xili.

LinearProgramming[c,m,b,{{l1,u1},{l2,u2},}]

minimizes c.x subject to the constraints specified by m and b and lixiui.

LinearProgramming[c,m,b,lu,dom]

takes the elements of x to be in the domain dom, either Reals or Integers.

LinearProgramming[c,m,b,lu,{dom1,dom2,}]

takes xi to be in the domain domi.

Examplesopen allclose all Basic Examples  (3)

Minimize , subject to constraint and implicit non-negative constraints:

LinearProgramming has been superseded by LinearOptimization:

Solve the problem with equality constraint and implicit non-negative constraints:

Use LinearOptimization to solve the problem:

Solve the problem with equality constraint and implicit non-negative constraints:

Use LinearOptimization to solve the problem:

Scope  (6)

Minimize , subject to constraint and lower bounds , :

Minimize , subject to constraint and bounds , :

Minimize , subject to constraint and upper bounds , :

Minimize , subject to constraint and implicit non-negative constraints:

Minimize subject to bounds and only:

Solve the same kind of problem, but with both variables integers:

Solve the same problem, but with the first variable an integer:

Solve larger LPs, in this case 200,000 variables and 10,000 constraints:

Options  (2) Method  (1)

"InteriorPoint" is faster than "Simplex" or "RevisedSimplex", though it only works for machine-precision problems:

Tolerance  (1)

If an approximated solution is sufficient, a loose Tolerance option makes the solution process faster:

Properties & Relations  (2)

A linear programming problem can also be solved using Minimize:

NMinimize or FindMinimum can be used to solve inexact linear programming problems:

Possible Issues  (4)

The integer programming algorithm is limited to the machine-number problems:

The "InteriorPoint" method only works for machine numbers:

The "InteriorPoint" method may return a solution in the middle of the optimal solution set:

The "Simplex" method always returns a solution at a corner of the optimal solution set:

In this case the optimal solution set is the set of all points on the line segment between and :

The "InteriorPoint" method may not always be able to tell if a problem is infeasible or unbounded:

Neat Examples  (1)

This expresses the KleeMinty problem of dimension in LinearProgramming syntax:

Because scaling is applied internally, the simplex algorithm converges very quickly:
