Principles and Practical Applications of the Optimal Values Management and Programming

In this paper presented are the methods for solving optimization problems, when there is a need to find the optimal value. This value may be minimum or maximum range. For example: the required profit and expenses of a company or institution, transport & costs minimization, computer network management, economic management of financial requirements. Also, given is an adequate method to optimize the function (objective function). The simplex method, Pivot method, and another approximation method, are the model that can help solving the question of the max and min problem. Here, presented are the program codes and the same implemented into C ++ and codes MATLAB. By applying these methods of optimization, we can have a direct approach and chance to minimize or maximize the objective function: which is the key point in creating certain optimum value. An optimization method has a practical use; this practical use is demonstrated through certain examples.
