Linear Programming Applications

Abstract

Linear programming is an area of mathematics called "optimization techniques". It is a technique that allows to maximize or minimize a linear function subject to several restrictions. Its area of application is very broad, since it can be used to solve problems of various disciplines such as: finance, economics, marketing, logistics, production systems, transport systems, among others. At present, there is a different type of software that facilitates the solution of linear models with a large number of variables, which allows to address more complex problems in different disciplines.
