Question

What are the assumptions and limitations of linear programming?

Answer 1

The assumption of linear programming are:

• The relation shown by the constraints and the objective function are linear.
• The parameters could vary as per magnitude
• The basic characteristics of linear programming is to find the optimal value based on certain available problem

The limitations of linear programming are:

• If we assume that all relations are linear, then it may not hold good for all the situations.
• All the constraints and coefficients are mentioned in Linear programming with certainty
• We can compute the solution manually if number of variables or constraints are very large
