Applications of Linear Programming
... Applications of Linear Programming Example 3 A 4-H member raises goats and pigs. She wants to raise no more than 16 animals, including no more than 10 goats. She spends $25 to raise a goat and $75 to raise a pig, and she has $900 available for the project. The 4-H member wishes to maximize her prof ...

... ¾ Proportionality. The contribution of a decision variable to the objective function and its requirements in the constraints are proportional to the decision variable. ¾ Additivity. The objective function is the sum of contribution of decision variables to it. A constraint is made up by adding the r ...

... As discussed in section, a minimization algorithm cannot solve the constrained minimization problem in a straightforward way. In other words, if we wish to minimize a function f subject to some constraint , then the method of Lagrange multipliers says that the solution will be a stationary point ...

Mathematical optimization
In mathematics, computer science and operations research, mathematical optimization (alternatively, optimization or mathematical programming) is the selection of a best element (with regard to some criteria) from some set of available alternatives.In the simplest case, an optimization problem consists of maximizing or minimizing a real function by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set and computing the value of the function. The generalization of optimization theory and techniques to other formulations comprises a large area of applied mathematics. More generally, optimization includes finding ""best available"" values of some objective function given a defined domain (or a set of constraints), including a variety of different types of objective functions and different types of domains.
