Concepts of Linear Programming
| Term | Definition |
| Linear Programming Problem (LPP) | A mathematical problem concerned with finding the optimal (maximum or minimum) value of a linear function of several variables, subject to specific linear inequalities and non-negative conditions. |
| Objective Function | A linear function, generally written as Z = ax + by (where a and b are constants), which needs to be maximized or minimized. |
| Decision Variables | The variables (like x and y) representing the quantities to be determined. |
| Constraints | The linear inequalities or restrictions placed on the variables due to limited resources (e.g., maximum budget or storage capacity). |
| Non-negative Restrictions | The condition that variables cannot be negative, mathematically stated as \[x \ge 0, y \ge 0\]. |
| Optimisation Problem | Any broader problem that seeks to maximize or minimize a mathematical function subject to specific constraints. An LPP is a special, strictly linear type of optimization problem. |

Example 1
To maximize profit (Z), a problem can be formulated mathematically as follows:
-
Maximise: Z = 250x + 75y
-
Subject to the constraints:
-
\[5x + y \le 100\]
-
\[x + y \le 60\]
-
-
With non-negative restrictions: \[x \ge 0, y \ge 0\]

Key Points: Linear Programming Problem and Its Mathematical Formulation
-
Linear Programming is a method of optimisation under linear constraints.
-
The quantity to be optimised is called the objective function.
-
The unknown quantities are called decision variables.
-
Restrictions are called constraints.
-
Non-negative restrictions must always be included.
