Objective funtion value
The value need to increase in order to decrease the OFV(Objective Function Value)
It's objective function value
Objective function value
A negative coefficient in the objective function indicates that increasing the value of that variable would improve the objective value.
A negative coefficient in the objective function indicates that increasing the value of the corresponding variable would improve the objective.
IT IS AN OBJECTIVE FUNCTION VALUE
A negative coefficient in the objective function of a linear programming problem indicates that increasing the associated decision variable will decrease the objective value, guiding the simplex method to potentially reduce that variable to optimize the solution.
