Applications of linear and integer programming

Studies the application of OPL to linear programming, integer programming, mixed integer-linear programming, and piecewise linear programming.

Linear programming
Defines linear programming and describes a simple production planning problem, a multiperiod production planning problem, a blending problem, and sensitivity analysis.
Integer programming
Defines integer programming and describes a set covering problem, a warehouse location problem, a fixed-charge problem, and integer relaxation.
Mixed integer-linear programming
Defines mixed integer-linear programming and describes an upgrade to the production-planning problem to include a fixed charge for the products.
Piecewise linear programming
Defines piecewise linear programming, describes an inventory problem with piecewise linear functions, compares pwl to plain linear programming, and indicates complexity issues.
