Non-linear programming (NLP):

Non-linear programming (NLP) is used in complex optimization problems where the objectives or constraints or sometimes both are non-linear functions of the decision variables. A model can be termed as non-linear for more than one reason.

An investment manager is considering stocks X1, X2, and X3 for investment. Market research shows the following information (per stock) X1 X2 X3 cost $100 risk measure 8 price annual growth rate: 9% annual return: $14 cost $120 risk measure 10 price annual growth rate: 13% annual return: $15 cost $80 risk measure 7 price annual growth rate: 8% annual return: $20 Based on his experience, the manager has set the following priorities for the investment: (1) The total amount invested should be at least $90,000. (d1) (2) The minimum annual average growth rate in stock prices is 12%. (d2) (3) The risk factor of all stocks should not exceed a total of 5,000. (d3) (4) The total annual return should be $15,000. (d4) The constraint for the annual growth rate can be written as:     9X1 + 13X2 + 8X3 ≥ 12     [(9X1 + 13X2 + 8 X3)/(X1+ X2+ X3)] + d2- - d2+ ≥ 12     [(9X1 + 13X2 + 8X3)/(X1+ X2+ X3)] + d2- - d2+ ≤ 0     -3X1+ X2 - 4X3 + d2- - d2+ ≥ 12     -3X1 +…

The members of a private golf club have handicaps that are normally distributedwith mean 15 and standard deviation 3.5. In a particular event, foursomes are chosen by grouping four players chosen at random from the club. The handicap of thefoursome is the arithmetic average of the handicaps of the four players comprisingthe foursome. In what proportion of the foursomes will the handicap of the foursome be less than 10 or more than 20? (Hint: The standard deviation of the average of four independent identically distributed random variables is exactly half thestandard deviation of one of them.)
