Goal Programming¶
This deals with situations with multiple objective functions.
Sometimes, some goals will be more important than others
Deviation Variables¶
Represent the amount by which goal will be violated
| Deviation ___ RHS of constraint | |
|---|---|
| \(s_i^+\) | above |
| \(s_i^-\) | below |
\(s_i^+\) and \(s_i^-\) are by definition dependent and hence cannot be taken as basic variables simultaneously. This means that in any simplex iteration, \(\le 1\) one the 2 deviation variables can assume +ve values
