Theory of Linear Programming Problem Renuka Mahajan

The present book deals with the detailed study of linear programming problems which provides applications in a variety of disciplines while dealing with Operations Research. The main objective of the manuscript is to understand the concept of an objective function of a businessman and how to optimize profit or loss function. Linear programming is a quantitative or mathematical technique for determining the optimal allocation of resources and obtaining a particular objective when there are alternative uses of resources. The objective in resource allocation may be minimization or maximation. The technique of linear programming is applicable to problem in which the total effectiveness can be shown as a linear function of individual allocations, and the limitations on resources give rise to Linear equalities or inequalities of single allocations.
