Class LinearProgramming

java.lang.Object

com.imsl.math.LinearProgramming

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

Deprecated.

LinearProgramming has been replaced by DenseLP.

public class LinearProgramming
extends Object
implements Serializable, Cloneable

Linear programming problem using the revised simplex algorithm.

Class LinearProgramming uses a revised simplex method to solve linear programming problems, i.e., problems of the form

$$\mathop {\min }\limits_{x\; \in \;R^n } c^T x$$

subject to

$$b_l \le A_x \le b_u$$

$$\,\,x_l \le x \le x_u$$

where c is the objective coefficient vector, A is the coefficient matrix, and the vectors \(b_l\), \(b_u\), \(x_l\), and \(x_u\) are the lower and upper bounds on the constraints and the variables, respectively.

NOTE: This code is obsolete. For any new development one should use DenseLP instead.

For a complete description of the revised simplex method, see Murtagh (1981) or Murty (1983).

clone

public Object clone()

Deprecated.

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

solve

public final void solve()
                 throws LinearProgramming.BoundsInconsistentException,
                        LinearProgramming.NumericDifficultyException,
