[See] Explicitly state the following: Decision Variables: Express the decision variable in mathematical notation, and state what each decision variable
Question: Explicitly state the following:
- Decision Variables: Express the decision variable in mathematical notation, and state what each decision variable stands for in words.
- Constraints: Write each constraint in mathematical notation, and state what it stands for in words.
- Objective function: Write the objective in mathematical notation, and state what it stands for in words.
- Following steps (1) – (3), write the entire model as a linear programming (LP) formulation.
- Solve the LP using GAMS, and determine the optimal values of: decision variables, objective function, and constraints.
Consider the following data for a linear programming problem where the objective is to maximize profit from allocating three resources to two nonnegative activities.
