Determining constraint relevance in crew scheduling problem
I am working on a crew scheduling problem formulated as a MIP binary optimization where each employee is represented by a binary variable $X_{ids}$ s.t. $i \in I$ is $i$th employee, $d \in D$ is the ...

Why are the final value and reduced cost 0 in excel sensitivity report for multiple variables even though there exists a unique optimal solution?
In solving a linear program (in specific a network optimization problem of the shortest path type) with the Excel solver, I noticed two things after running a sensitivity report on the solution ...

Waiting time in M/M/n queue
I was able to numerically "show" that an M/M/n queue is concave increasing in the number for $n$ servers, which makes intuitive sense. However is there a formal analytical proof for it? Where can I ...

Partial derivative of LP solution $(x_1 , \ldots, x_n)$ w.r.t. $x_i$ or $a_i$
Suppose I have an optimal solution and I want to know how the solution would (likely) change if one of the coefficients in the objective function changes, or if I add a constraint that forces $x_i$ ...
