Key Points
Definition of Linear Programming.
A method to find the optimal (max/min) value of a linear function, subject to constraints.
Objective Function Explained.
The function Z = ax + by to be maximised or minimised in linear programming problems.
Constraints in Linear Programming.
Linear inequalities that restrict the values of decision variables in a linear programming problem.
Decision Variables.
Variables (x and y) whose values are chosen to optimise the objective function.
Non-Negative Constraints.
Constraints stating that decision variables x and y must be greater than or equal to zero.
Feasible Region Definition.
The region in the graph that satisfies all the constraints of a linear programming problem.
Corner Point Method.
A graphical technique to solve linear programming problems by evaluating the objective function at vertices.
Theorem for Optimal Solutions.
Optimal values of the objective function occur at corner points of the feasible region.
Bounded vs. Unbounded Regions.
Bounded regions have both max/min solutions, while unbounded may lack a max/min solution.
Graphing Constraints.
Graph the constraints to find the feasible region by identifying the intersection points of lines.
Identifying Vertices.
Determine the coordinates of corner points using lines' intersection to evaluate the objective function.
Example of Profit Maximisation.
A furniture dealer's investment scenario can illustrate application of linear programming in real life.
Evaluating Z at Vertices.
Calculate the value of Z at each corner point to identify the optimal solution.
Multiple Optimal Solutions.
Occurs when different corner points yield the same optimal value for the objective function.
Infeasible Solutions.
Points that do not satisfy all constraints, indicating no solution exists for the set problem.
