Linear Programming Optimization

[reenashah]

Here is a summary of the Linear Programming Optimization that we discussed today with Professor Stark. Hopefully this is a helpful resource.

Also, if you have any background in linear programming (or willing to learn!), comment on this issue so that we can form a group and begin discussing a potential solution.

I have linear programming experience, and some experience with AMPL.

Thanks @reenashah, this is really helpful

If it is possible to linearize A sub m, then we can use the simplex function in the SciPy package:

Could you expand on what you mean by linearize A sub m, and what simplex does?

Simplex is al algorithm to solve linear programming problems. Most
mathematical packages have a way of solving them already
