A computational procedure is given for finding the minimum of a quadratic function of variables subject to linear inequality constraints. The procedure is analogous to the Simplex Method for linear ...

Moreover, a new, ratio-test-free pivoting rule is proposed, significantly reducing computational cost at each iteration. Our numerical experiments show that the method is very promising, at least for ...

Eventually linear programming came to be used in everything from manufacturing to diet planning. George Bernard Dantzig was born in Portland, Ore., on Nov. 8, 1914.
