Abstract
Ultimately, we learn about linear programming and integer programming because we wish to solve real-world problems using these techniques. In this chapter, we first discuss how problems can be formulated as linear and integer programs. We then give example formulation techniques that go well beyond the conversions used to obtain equivalent formulations in Section 4.1. Last, we note several formats in which linear and integer programs are commonly expressed so that modern solver codes can be applied to obtain solutions. Many more examples and exercises are given at this book’s website, http://lipme.org.
