This paper shows, by means of an example, how linear programming can be applied to obtain optimal team decision functions in the case in which the payoff to the team is a convex polyhedral function of ...

Multilevel programming models partition control over decision variables among ordered levels within a hierarchical planning structure. A planner at one level of the hierarchy may have his objective ...

Two Variables: Graphical Solution For cases like the one we have here, where there are just two decision variables, there is a quick and easy solution method. This method involves graphical ...

The scholar developed linear programming -- in essence, a decision-support tool that is ideal for resource allocation -- while working for the Defense Department after World War II.
