This unit gives an overview of methods and algorithms both in linear programming (operational research) and non-linear optimisation. Techniques to be considered include: Linear Programming. Graphical ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

In this note we construct some counterexamples concerning upper semicontinuity and linear upper and lower semicontinuity of the solution sets and ε -solution sets of nonlinear programming programs: ...

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