We prove the correctness of the procedure, and relate it to other pivoting rules for linear programming. OR professionals in every field of study will find information of interest in this balanced, ...

Moreover, a new, ratio-test-free pivoting rule is proposed, significantly reducing computational cost at each iteration. Our numerical experiments show that the method is very promising, at least for ...

Diet models based on goal programming (GP) are valuable tools in designing diets that comply with nutritional, palatability and cost constraints.

George B. Dantzig, the mathematician who invented the field of linear programming, which revolutionized the way government and private enterprise planned, scheduled and generally conducted their ...
