Linear programming problems require an objective function (which can be either maximized or minimized), constraint equations (which must be linear), and alternative courses of action. However, there is no requirement that each decision variable must have its own unique constraint or resource limit. Constraints typically apply to combinations of variables, not necessarily on a one-to-one basis with variables.
