In linear programming, the objective function is the function that it is desired to maximize or minimize. The human interaction equivalent is what matters most.

A natural optimization model that formulates many online resource allocation problems is the online linear programming (LP) problem in which the constraint matrix is revealed column by column along ...

A procedure is developed for representing competitive and noncompetitive market structures in linear programming models. Arbitrarily close approximations to nonlinear forms--in both the objective ...
