We propose a new decomposition method for large-scale linear programming. This method dualizes an (arbitrary) subset of the constraints and then maximizes the resulting dual functional by dual ascent.

Two Variables: Graphical Solution For cases like the one we have here, where there are just two decision variables, there is a quick and easy solution method. This method involves graphical ...

This course continues our data structures and algorithms specialization by focussing on the use of linear and integer programming formulations for solving algorithmic problems that seek optimal ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

George B. Dantzig, the mathematician who invented the field of linear programming, which revolutionized the way government and private enterprise planned, scheduled and generally conducted their ...
