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.

This paper gives general conditions under which a collection of optimization problems, with the objective function and the constraint set depending on a parameter, has optimal solutions that are an ...

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 ...
