Program Plan Intro

  • Let us consider on the following Linear programming;
  • max z=9x1+8x2+5x3+4x4
  • Such that
    • x1+x4≤200
    • x2+x3≤150
    • x1+x2+x3≤350
    • 2x1+x2+x3+x4≤550
    • x1,x2,x3,x4≥0
  • The LINDO output for this Linear Programming is given below:
  • Max 9x1+8x2+5x3+4x4
  • Subject to constraints:
    • x1+x4≤200
    • x2+x3≤150
    • x1+x2+x3≤350
    • 2x1+x2+x3+x4≤550
  • End
  • LP optimum found at step 4

Explanation of Solution

  • Here, three oddities that may occur when the optimal solution found by LINDO is degenerate.
  • Oddity 1: In the ranges in which the basis is unchanged, at least one constraint will have a 0. Allowable increase or Allowable decrease.
  • This means that for at least one constraint, the dual price can tell us about the new z-value for either an increase or decrease in the right-hand side, but not both.
  • To understand Oddity 1, consider the second constraint. Its allowable increase is 0.
  • This means that the second constraint’s dual price of 3 cannot be used to determine a new z-value resulting from any increase in the first constraint’s right-hand side.
  • Oddity 2: For a non-basic variable to become positive, its objective function coefficient may have to be improved by more than it reduced cost...

A discharge factor is a ratio which compares the mass flow rate at the end of a channel or nozzle to an ideal channel or nozzle. The discharge factor for flow through an open channel of parabolic cross-section is: K = 1.2 [V16x +1+ In(V16x² +1+4x)]³ 4x where x is the ratio of the maximum water depth to breadth of the channel at the top of the water. Determine the discharge factors for x in the range 0.45 to 0.90 in steps of 0.05. Script e C Reset I MATLAB Docume 1 %Give values for x: 2 3 %Solve for K: 4
