The object of the Assignment algorithm is to assign n objects (workers, machines, etc.) to the same number of jobs (tasks) in such a way that will minimize the total cost. NCSS solves a particular quadratic program using a primal active set method available in the Extreme Optimization mathematical subroutine package. The mathematical representation of the quadratic programming (QP) problem is to maximize the objective function The technique finds broad use in operations research and is occasionally of use in statistical work. Quadratic Programming maximizes (or minimizes) a quadratic objective function subject to one or more constraints. NCSS solves a particular mixed integer programming problem using the branch and bound algorithm available in the Extreme Optimization mathematical subroutine package. The technique finds broad use in operations research. Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) adds one additional condition that at least one of the variables can only take on integer values. Linear programming maximizes (or minimizes) a linear objective function subject to one or more constraints. NCSS solves a particular linear program using a revised dual simplex method available in the Extreme Optimization mathematical subroutine package. The values in the X vector are called decision variables (the unknowns), and the values in the b vector are often called right-hand sides (RHS). The mathematical representation of the linear programming (LP) problem is to maximize (or minimize) the objective function Linear Programming (LP) maximizes (or minimizes) a linear objective function subject to one or more constraints. Linear Programming with Bounds or Tableau There you will find formulas, references, discussions, and examples or tutorials describing the procedure in detail.
