| 1. | Since the development of the simplex method many people have contributed to the growth of linear programming by developing its mathematical theory , devising efficient computational methods and codes , exploring new applications , and by their use of linear programming as an aiding tool for solving more complex problems , for instance , discrete programs , nonlinear programs , combinatorial problems , stochastic programming problems , and problems of optimal control
由于单纯形的发展，很多人致力于线性规划的进步，通过发展它的数学理论、设计高效的计算方法和规则、探索新的应用，以及把线性规划的使用作为解决更复杂问题的辅助工具，比如，离散规划，非线性规划，组合问题，随机规划问题和最优控制问题。 |
