  3. Overview • Many business problems can be modeled only with nonlinear functions. • Problems that fit the general linear programming format but contain nonlinear functions are termed nonlinear programming (NLP) problems. • Solution methods are more complex than linear programming methods. • Often difficult, if not impossible, to determine optimal solution. • Solution techniques generally involve searching a solution surface for high or low points requiring the use of advanced mathematics. • Computer techniques (Excel) are used in this chapter. Chapter 11 - Nonlinear Programming

  4. Optimal Value of a Single Nonlinear Function Basic Model Profit function, Z, with volume independent of price: Z = vp - cf - vcv where v = sales volume p = price cf = fixed cost cv = variable cost Add volume/price relationship: v = 1,500 - 24.6p Figure 11.1 Linear Relationship of Volume to Price Chapter 11 - Nonlinear Programming

  5. Optimal Value of a Single Nonlinear Function Expanding the Basic Model to a Nonlinear Model With fixed cost (cf = $10,000) and variable cost (cv = $8): Z = 1,696.8p - 24.6p2 - 22,000 Figure 11.2 The Nonlinear Profit Function Chapter 11 - Nonlinear Programming

  6. Optimal Value of a Single Nonlinear Function Maximum Point on a Curve • The slope of a curve at any point is equal to the derivative of the curve’s function. • The slope of a curve at its highest point equals zero.

  8. Constrained Optimization in Nonlinear Problems Definition • If a nonlinear problem contains one or more constraints it becomes a constrained optimization model or a nonlinear programming model. • A nonlinear programming model has the same general form as the linear programming model except that the objective function and/or the constraint(s) are nonlinear. • Solution procedures are much more complex andno guaranteed procedure exists.

  12. Constrained Optimization in Nonlinear Problems Characteristics • Unlike linear programming, solution is often not on the boundary of the feasible solution space. • Cannot simply look at points on the solution space boundary but must consider other points on the surface of the objective function. • This greatly complicates solution approaches. • Solution techniques can be very complex.

  30. Investment Portfolio Selection Example Problem Definition and Model Formulation (1 of 2) • Objective of the portfolio selection model is to minimize some measure of portfolio risk (variance in the return on investment) while achieving some specified minimum return on the total portfolio investment. • Since variance is the sum of squares of differences, it is mathematically identical to the “straight-line distance”! Thus, it is possible to visualize variances as such distances, and minimizing the overall variance is then mathematically identical to minimizing such distances. Chapter 11 - Nonlinear Programming
