Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constraints that are at their limits at the optimal solution of a Linear Program are called binding constraints because they restrict the feasible region and affect the optimal solution. Non-binding constraints do not affect the optimal solution, while equality constraints have a fixed value that must be satisfied at all times. Limiting constraints and synergistic constraints are not commonly used terms in Linear Programming.
