It is a process by which a linear function of several variables, called the objective function, is maximised or minimised when it is subject to one or more linear constraints in the same variables.
The standard form of a Linear Programming Problem (LPP) is a mathematical representation where the objective function is maximized (or minimized), subject to a set of linear equality constraints. In this form, all decision variables must be non-negative, and constraints are expressed as equalities, typically using slack or surplus variables to convert inequalities. This standardized format helps in applying various optimization techniques, such as the Simplex method, to find the optimal solution efficiently.
It is a programming problem in which the objective function is to be optimised subject to a set of constraints. At least one of the constraints or the objective functions must be non-linear in at least one of the variables.
Lagrange multipliers is a mathematical method used to find the local maxima and minima of a function subject to equality constraints. It introduces additional variables, called Lagrange multipliers, which help incorporate the constraints into the optimization problem. By solving the system of equations formed by the gradients of the objective function and the constraints, one can identify optimal solutions while respecting the given conditions. This technique is widely used in various fields, including economics, engineering, and physics.
The objective of constrained optimization is to find the best solution to an optimization problem while adhering to specific limitations or constraints. This involves maximizing or minimizing an objective function subject to equality or inequality restrictions that define the feasible region. The process seeks to identify the optimal values of decision variables that satisfy both the objective and the constraints, ensuring practical applicability in real-world scenarios.
Linear programming can be used to solve problems requiring the optimisation (maximum or minimum) of a linear objective function when the variables are subject to a linear constraints.

Lagrangian constraints are used in optimization problems to incorporate constraints into the objective function, allowing for the optimization of a function subject to certain conditions.
