  2. Linear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming

    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).

  3. LP-type problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LP-type_problem

    The discovery of linear time algorithms for linear programming and the observation that the same algorithms could in many cases be used to solve geometric optimization problems that were not linear programs goes back at least to Megiddo (1983, 1984), who gave a linear expected time algorithm for both three-variable linear programs and the ...

  4. Linear complementarity problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_complementarity_problem

    In mathematical optimization theory, the linear complementarity problem (LCP) arises frequently in computational mechanics and encompasses the well-known quadratic programming as a special case. It was proposed by Cottle and Dantzig in 1968.

  5. Farkas' lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkas'_lemma

    Farkas' lemma is the key result underpinning the linear programming duality and has played a central role in the development of mathematical optimization (alternatively, mathematical programming). It is used amongst other things in the proof of the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker theorem in nonlinear programming . [ 2 ]

  6. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

    Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization .

  7. Polarization identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_identity

    In linear algebra, a branch of mathematics, the polarization identity is any one of a family of formulas that express the inner product of two vectors in terms of the norm of a normed vector space. If a norm arises from an inner product then the polarization identity can be used to express this inner product entirely in terms of the norm.

  8. Interior-point method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior-point_method

    An interior point method was discovered by Soviet mathematician I. I. Dikin in 1967. [1] The method was reinvented in the U.S. in the mid-1980s. In 1984, Narendra Karmarkar developed a method for linear programming called Karmarkar's algorithm, [2] which runs in provably polynomial time (() operations on L-bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and constants), and is also very ...

  9. Assignment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_problem

    In the basic assignment problem, each agent is assigned to at most one task and each task is assigned to at most one agent. In the many-to-many assignment problem, [10] each agent i may take up to c i tasks (c i is called the agent's capacity), and each task j may be taken by up to d j agents simultaneously (d j is called the task's capacity).
