It depends on the problem: you may have to use integer programming rather than linear programming.
N squared. It could be the Cartesian plane restricted to integer values, as required for integer linear programming problems.
In both cases the constraints are used to produce an n-dimensional simplex which represents the "feasible region". In the case of linear programming this is the feasible region. But that is not the case for integer programming since only those points within the region for which the variables are integer are feasible.The objective function is then used to find the maximum or minimum - as required. In the case of a linear programming problem, the solution must lie on one of the vertices (or along one line in 2-d, plane in 3-d etc) of the simplex and so is easy to find. In the case of integer programming, the optimal solution so found may contain one or more variables that are not integer and so it is necessary to examine all the points in the immediate neighbourhood and evaluate the objective function at each of these points. This last requirement makes integer programming solutions more difficult to find.
The values of the variables will satisfy the equality (rather than the inequality) form of the constraint - provided you are not dealing with integer programming.
Many computer programs and programming languages have a built-in round function; read the documentation. If there is none, you can also: 1. Multiply by 10 2. To round to an integer: add 0.5 to the result, then apply the integer function 3. Divide the result by 10 again.
Integer programming is a special kind of an optimising problem where the solution must be an integer.
Integer programming is a subset of linear programming where the feasible region is reduced to only the integer values that lie within it.
Integer programming is a method of mathematical programming that restricts some or all of the variables to integers. A subset of Integer programming is Linear programming. This is a form of mathematical programming which seeks to find the best outcome in such a way that the requirements are linear relationships.
