Definition

Linear optimization is a mathematical method within the field of mathematical programming focused on finding the optimal value (maximum or minimum) of a linear objective function subject to a set of linear equality and inequality constraints. This fundamental technique provides a rigorous framework for modeling and solving resource allocation, planning, and decision-making problems across various scientific, engineering, and economic disciplines.
