Linear Model[edit] It is a one way model to communicate with others. It consists of the sender encoding a message and channeling it to the receiver in the presence of noise. In this model there is no feedback which may allow for a continuous exchange of information. This form of communication is a one-way form of communication that does not involve any feedback or response‚ and noise. (F.N.S. Palma‚ 1993‚ Shannon and Weaver[edit] The new model was designed to mirror the functioning of radio and telephone

In the Solver‚ we need to identify the locations (cells) of objective function‚ decision variables‚ nature of the objective function (maximize/minimize) and constraints. Example One (Linear model): Investment Problem Our first example illustrates how to allocate money to different bonds to maximize the total return (Ragsdale 2011‚ p. 121). A trust office at the Blacksburg National Bank needs to determine how to invest $100‚000 in following

TOPIC – LINEAR PROGRAMMING Linear Programming is a mathematical procedure for determining optimal allocation of scarce resources. Requirements of Linear Programming • all problems seek to maximize or minimize some quantity • The presence of restrictions or constraints • There must be alternative courses of action • The objective and constraints in linear programming must be expressed in terms of linear equations or inequalities Objective
