Linear Programming Proof

I need the proof of the Linear programming problem attached. --- Consider the LP: Min ct x Subject to Ax ≥ b, x ≥ 0. One can convert the problem to an equivalent one with equality constraints by using slack variables. Suppose that the optimal basis for the equality constrained problem is B. Prove t ...continues

Linear Programming

I need a formulation and solution to finding extreme points. (See attached file for full problem description) 1. ABC wants to plan its electricity capacity for the next T years. ABC has a forecast of dt megawatts for electricity during year t = 1,… T. The existing capacity which is in the form of oil-fired plants will b ...continues

Linear Programming : Finding Constraints

I need help in determining the constraints for this problem. I understand that the variables are: X1= pharmacists and X2= pharmacy techs. the minimum formula is 40X1 + 10X2= min. I need the formulas for the constraints. Don't worry about part b, i just need to know how to setup the values for the constraints.

Linear Programming : Optimizing Acreage of an Olive Farm

The seasonal yield of olives in a Pireaus, Greece, vineyard is greatly influenced by a process of branch pruning. If olive trees are pruned every two weeks, output is increased. The pruning process, however, requires considerably more labor than permitting the olives to grow on their own and results in a smaller size olive. It a ...continues
