Overview

An Optimisation Problem

A problem which seeks to maximise or minimise a function is called an optimisation problem. An optimisation problem may involve maximisation of profit, production, etc., or minimisation of cost, from available resources, etc.

A Linear Programming Problem (LPP)

A linear programming problem deals with the optimisation (maximisation/ minimisation) of a linear function of two variables (say x and y) known as objective function subject to the conditions that the variables are non-negative and satisfy a set of linear inequalities (called linear constraints). A linear programming problem is a special type of optimisation problem.
