FWhen we use LP as an approximate representation of a real-life situation, the following assumptions are inherent:
*Proportionality. - The contribution of each decision variable to the objective or constraint is directly proportional to the value of the decision variable.
*Additivity. - The contribution to the objective function or constraint for any variable is independent of the values of the other decision variables, and the terms can be added together sensibly.
*Divisibility. - The decision variables are continuous and thus can take on fractional values.
*Deterministic. - All the parameters (objective function coefficients, right-hand side coefficients, left-hand side, or technology, coefficients) are known with certainty.
