This paper describes some rules for combining component models into complete linear programs. The objective is to lay the foundations for systems that give users flexibility in designing new models ...

Data for a linear programming problem resembles the data for side constraints and nonarc variables supplied to PROC NETFLOW when solving a constrained network problem. It is also very similar to the ...

Three examples of the applications of linear programming are given, drawn from the manufacture of plywood, the distribution of grain, and industrial fermentation. In each of these widely different ...
