Reduced cost. In linear programming, reduced cost, or opportunity cost, is the amount by which an objective function coefficient would have to improve (so increase for maximization problem, decrease for minimization problem) before it would be possible for a corresponding variable to assume a positive value in the optimal solution. It is the ...
Column generation. Column generation or delayed column generation is an efficient algorithm for solving large linear programs. The overarching idea is that many linear programs are too large to consider all the variables explicitly. The idea is thus to start by solving the considered program with only a subset of its variables.
Linear programming (LP), also called linear optimization, is a method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a mathematical model whose requirements and objective are represented by linear relationships. Linear programming is a special case of mathematical programming (also known as mathematical optimization).
Bland's rule. In mathematical optimization, Bland's rule (also known as Bland's algorithm, Bland's anti-cycling rule or Bland's pivot rule) is an algorithmic refinement of the simplex method for linear optimization. With Bland's rule, the simplex algorithm solves feasible linear optimization problems without cycling. [1][2][3]
Dantzig–Wolfe decomposition is an algorithm for solving linear programming problems with special structure. It was originally developed by George Dantzig and Philip Wolfe and initially published in 1960. [1] Many texts on linear programming have sections dedicated to discussing this decomposition algorithm. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Dantzig–Wolfe ...
The assignment problem consists of finding, in a weighted bipartite graph, a matching of a given size, in which the sum of weights of the edges is minimum. If the numbers of agents and tasks are equal, then the problem is called balanced assignment. Otherwise, it is called unbalanced assignment. [1] If the total cost of the assignment for all ...
Constrained optimization. In mathematical optimization, constrained optimization (in some contexts called constraint optimization) is the process of optimizing an objective function with respect to some variables in the presence of constraints on those variables. The objective function is either a cost function or energy function, which is to ...
Simplex algorithm. In mathematical optimization, Dantzig 's simplex algorithm (or simplex method) is a popular algorithm for linear programming. [1] The name of the algorithm is derived from the concept of a simplex and was suggested by T. S. Motzkin. [2] Simplices are not actually used in the method, but one interpretation of it is that it ...
