THE LINEAR-LOGARITHMIC PROGRAMMING PROBLEM

Abstract : The algebraic solution of the linear-logarithmic programming problem is developed, derived by means of Lagrange multipliers. Then, two numerical methods for solving the problem are given, one of which is a generalization of a method previously used to solve the chemical equilibrium problem. Convergence was not proven for either of these methods; however, a number of large chemical equilibrium problems were solved using one or both of the methods.
