In this paper simulation techniques are used to evaluate the use of linear programming in regression analysis. The experiments demonstrate that, in certain cases, minimizing the sum of the absolute ...

Designing telephone networks, routing airplanes and scheduling petroleum- refinery production are just a few problems that have been solved by a mathematical technique called linear programming.

This project aims at popularizing the usage of numerical methods, and in particular, linear programming techniques, for solving various types of information- and incentive-constrained problems in ...

Our main contribution is a new linear programming technique that we introduce as a tool for obtaining and analyzing algorithms for the secretary problem and its variants.
