Abstract

Formulation of LPs and IPs is a technique to convert real life decision problems into a mathematical model. This model consists of a linear objective function and a set of linear constraints expressed in the form of a system of equations or inequalities. In this paper, we present formulation from real life problem as an art. We discuss formulation through real life example and solve them using computer techniques AMPL and LINDO.
