Abstract

This chapter presents the geometric approach for linear programming. Linear programming has been applied to such diverse areas as economics, engineering, biology, agriculture, business, and the social sciences. The geometric method of solving linear programming problems is quite adequate for problems involving two unknowns. For problems involving three unknowns, a geometric method is applicable but is harder to apply. For most problems involving more than three unknowns, geometric methods are usually not applicable. A corner point in a convex set is any point in the set that is the intersection of two boundary lines.
