Composite Concave
Linear Programming


What is CCLP ?

Glad you asked!

CCLP is short for Composite Concave Linear Programming. It is one of the natural applications of Composite Concave Programming (c-programming for short) on which we shall not dwell here, but a topic that you may wish to examine on your own using articles listed in our bibliography.

As implied by its name, CCLP is an extension of Linear Programming involving a composite concave linear objective function (assuming you are a minimizer). It is a significant extension in the sense that it covers a very large and useful class of difficult and interesting nonlinear programming problems.

To solve problems of this type CCLP employs standard parametric analysis techniques of the Simplex Method. Thus, it makes use of a robust and well established technology, including sophisticated commercial software capable of handling extremely large problems.

Some implications therefore follow almost immediately:

If you have not swallowed your daily maths pill yet, we urge you to read the mathematical perspective on CCLP.

And regardless of what you do for leaving, don't forget to enrol in our CCLP INSID! program.
