Quadratic Programming for Least-Cost Feed Formulations under Probabilistic Protein Constraints

Joyce T. Chen

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1973, vol. 55, issue 2, 175-183

Abstract: This paper shows how a stochastic programming model for least-cost feed formulations under a probabilistic protein constraint and other linear restrictions can be solved by using an iterative quadratic programming technique. As the least-cost plan for a given probability level must be E-σ efficient, the result thus obtained is optimal.
