MeSH synonym : linear programming;
EFMI definition : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming;
MeSH definition : A technique of operations research for solving certain kinds of problems involving
many variables where a best value or set of best values is to be found. It is most
likely to be feasible when the quantity to be optimized, sometimes called the objective
function, can be stated as a mathematical expression in terms of the various activities
within the system, and when this expression is simply proportional to the measure
of the activities, i.e., is linear, and when all the restrictions are also linear.
It is different from computer programming, although problems using linear programming
techniques may be programmed on a computer.;
