Linear programming (LP):

  • The linear programming (LP) is also known as linear optimization.
  • Consider a mathematical model, and its requirements are used to represent by the linear relationships. The linear programming is the best method to achieve the best outcome of this mathematical model. The outcomes may be, maximum profit or lower cost.
  • The linear optimization is also called as mathematical optimization because, it is a special case of mathematical programming.
  • More formally, the LP is a technique for optimizing linear objective function subject to constraints of linear equality and linear inequality.

At the beginning of the first day (day 1) after grape harvesting is completed, a grape grower has 8000 kg of grapes in storage. On day n, for n = 1, 2, . . . ,the grape grower sells 250n/(n + 1) kg of the grapes at the local market at the priceof $2.50 per kg. He leaves the rest of the grapes in storage where each day they dryout a little so that their weight decreases by 3%. Let wn be the weight (in kg) ofthe stored grapes at the beginning of day n for n ā‰„ 1 (before he takes any to themarket).(a) Find the value of wn for n = 2.(b) Find a recursive definition for wn. (You may find it helpful to draw a timeline.)(c) Let rn be the total revenue (in dollars) earned from the stored grapes from thebeginning of day 1 up to the beginning of day n for n ā‰„ 1. Find a recursiveformula for rn.(d) Write a MATLAB program to compute wn and rn for n = 1, 2, . . . , num wherenum is entered by the user, and display the values in three columns: n, wn, rnwith appropriate headings.Run the program for num =ā€¦
IKEO is a furniture manufacturer which produces two sizes of wood blocks (type A and B) thatare used to make either a table or a chair. A table is made of a type A and a type B wood blocks,while a chair is made of a type A and two type B wood blocks.A table makes RM 3 profit, and a chair makes RM 5 profit. If M number of type A and Nnumber of type B wood blocks are produced, how many tables and chairs should themanufacturer make to obtain the greatest profit?For example, let M = 12 and N = 12.By making 4 tables (4 type A and 4 type B) and 4 chairs (4 type A and 8 type B), themanufacturer gain profit as follows,Profit = (RM 3) Ɨ 4 + (RM 5) Ɨ 4 = RM 32.If the manufacturer makes 2 more tables and 1 less chair, the profit will be increased as follows,Profit = (RM 3) Ɨ 6 + (RM 5) Ɨ 3 = RM 33.Is this the greatest profit?Write a complete C++ program to help the manufacturer determine the greatest profit obtainfrom making tables and chairs with a given number of M type A and N type B woodā€¦
