Document Summary

Objective function: a criterion to be used while evaluating alternative allocations of the resources. Decision variables: unknown amount of speci c allocation; their values have to be determined (by solving the lp model). Constraints: the limitations that restrict the available allocation alternatives. Parameters: known values most often re ecting some technological requirements. Lp model: formal representation of the problem build using all of the above. Linearity: the impact of decision variables is linear in constraints and objective function; Divisibility: noninteger values of decision variables are acceptable; Certainty: values of parameters are known and constant; Non-negativity: negative values of decision variables are unacceptable. No multiplication of variables (just addition & subtraction)
