The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

Introduction: In unsupervised learning, data clustering is essential. However, many current algorithms have issues like early convergence, inadequate local search capabilities, and trouble processing ...

ABSTRACT: This paper deals with linear programming techniques and their application in optimizing lecture rooms in an institution. This linear programming formulated based on the available secondary ...

The high-low method is used in cost accounting to estimate fixed and variable costs based on a business's highest and lowest levels of activity. By focusing on these extremes, the high-low method ...

Abstract: In this work, we extend the simplex algorithm of linear programming for finding a local minimum of a concave quadratic function subject to box constraints. In order to test the performance ...
