Definition of a Linear Programming Problem

A linear programming (LP) problem is a mathematical optimization technique used to determine the best possible outcome, such as maximum profit or minimum cost, under a set of linear constraints. The problem is formulated in terms of linear relationships, which involve decision variables, objective functions, and constraints.
