CHAPTER 11: BASIC LINEAR PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS
FOREST RESOURCE MANAGEMENT203CHAPTER 11: BASIC LINEAR PROGRAMMING CONCEPTSLinear PROGRAMMING is a mathematical technique for finding optimal solutions to problemsthat can be expressed using LINEAR equations and inequalities. If a real-world problem can berepresented accurately by the mathematical equations of a LINEAR program, the method willfind the best solution to the problem. Of course, few complex real-world problems can beexpressed perfectly in terms of a set of LINEAR functions. Nevertheless, LINEAR programs canprovide reasonably realistic representations of many real-world problems especially if alittle creativity is applied in the mathematical formulation of the subject of modeling was briefly discussed in the context of regulation. The regulationproblems you learned to solve were very simple mathematical representations of reality. Thischapter continues this trek down the modeling path. As we progress, the models will becomemore mathematical and more complex.
