Program Plan Intro
Linear
- The linear programming (LP) is also known as linear optimization.
- Consider a mathematical model, and its requirements are used to represent by the linear relationships. The linear programming is the best method to achieve the best outcome of this mathematical model. The outcomes may be, maximum profit or lower cost.
- The linear optimization is also called as mathematical optimization because, it is a special case of mathematical programming.
- More formally, the LP is a technique for optimizing linear objective function subject to constraints of linear equality and linear inequality.

QUESTION 9
What is one advantage of AABB over Bounding Spheres?
Computing the optimal AABB for a set of points is easy to program and
can be run in linear time. Computing the optimal bounding sphere is a
much more difficult problem.
The volume of AABB can be an integer, while the volume of a Bounding
Sphere is always irrational.
An AABB can surround a Bounding Sphere, while a Bounding Sphere
cannot surround an AABB.
To draw a Bounding Ball you need calculus knowledge.
The monotone restriction (MR) on the heuristic function is defined as
h (nj ) 2 h (ni ) - c (ni , nj ).
Please prove the following:
1. If h(n)
Consider the following problem:
You are baby-sitting n children and have m > n cookies to divide between them. You must give each child exactly one cookie (of course, you cannot give the same cookie to two different children). Each child has a greed factor gi, 1 ≤ i ≤ n which is the minimum size of a cookie that the child will be content with; and each cookie has a size sj , 1 ≤ j ≤ m. Your goal is to maximize the number of content children, i.e.., children i assigned a cookie j with gi ≤ sj. Give a correct greedy algorithm for this problem, prove that it finds the optimal solution, and give an efficient implementation.

- In this question you will explore the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP). (a) In every instance (i.e., example) of the TSP, we are given n cities, where each pair of cities is connected by a weighted edge that measures the cost of traveling between those two cities. Our goal is to find the optimal TSP tour, minimizing the total cost of a Hamiltonian cycle in G. Although it is NP-complete to solve the TSP, we found a simple 2-approximation by first generating a minimum-weight spanning tree of G and using this output to determine our TSP tour. Prove that our output is guaranteed to be a 2-approximation, provided the Triangle Inequality holds. In other words, if OP T is the total cost of the optimal solution, and AP P is the total cost of our approximate solution, clearly explain why AP P ≤ 2 × OP T.arrow_forwardSolve the following exercise using jupyter notebook for Python, to find the objective function, variables, constraint matrix and print the graph with the optimal solution.

The dietary needs of the specialty food require a minimum of 30% protein and a maximum of 5% fiber. The farm wishes to determine the optimum ratios of corn and soybeans to produce a feed with minimal costs while maintaining nutritional constraints and ensuring that a minimum of 800 grams of feed is used daily.
