Abstract
This section investigates a number of scenarios that do not obviously fall into the realm of linear programming. These include specifications of variables, types of constraints, and objective functions that differ from the linear programming formulations in standard and canonical form as defined in Chapter 3.2. This chapter is divided into three sections. The first (short) section discusses variables that do not fit into the standard and canonical forms, the second section deals with constraints, and the third, and arguably most important, section considers a number of objectives that do not appear to lend themselves to linear programming.
