Linear Programming

Literature Review on (Research Methods) Linear Programming

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Ronald John Hy offers the following summary about the topic of (Research Methods) Linear Programming: Linear programming (LP) is normally exceedingly complex, involving an enormous number of variables and constraints. The value of understanding LP lies in being aware of the utility, applicability, and limitations of the technique so it can be used correctly. The procedures, concepts, and calculations employed to solve a problem can be applied to any projection, regardless of size. The only constraint on the size of an LP problem is the computer's computational capability. LP is limited only by one's imagination.
