Hello, all, thanks for reading this.
I have a question about a simple linear optimization problem. I am running a example I found online, so I can compare this to GAMS, and I am unsure on how to use these constraint equations:
% Governing Equation
% Maximize Z = x1+5x2
%
% Constraint Equations:
% x1 + 3x2 <= 5;
% 2x1 + x2 = 4;
% x1 - 2x2 >= 1;
% x1,x2 >= 0;
I know from earleir examples I would use the code:
f = [-1; -5;]; % negative b/c linprog minimization
A = [1 3; ? ?; -1 2];b = [5; ?; -1]; options = optimset('LargeScale', 'off');xsol = linprog(f,A,b,[],[],[],[],[],options)
However, since I have one equality constraint, I have 1 DOF and I am not sure how to translate this to MATLAB. Would I leave the equality constraint out of the equation and linprog?
Thanks for your advice. I am unsure how to apply equality constraints in this type of problem.
