Decision modeling

Abstract

Chapter 1: Decision modeling, Operations research. Chapter 2: Linear programming uses a mathematical model to describe the problem of concern. Chapter 3: The simplex algorithm, An LP in this form is said to be in standard form. Chapter 4: Sensitivity analysis is concerned with how changes in an LP’s parameters affect the optimal solution. Chapter 5: Transportation and assignment problem: Applications of the transportation and assignment problems tend to require a very large number of constraints and variables, so a straightforward computer application of the simplex method may require an exorbitant computational effort. Chapter 6: Networks Models, A network consists of a set of points and a set of lines connecting certain pairs of the points. Chapter 7: Integer programming
