Abstract

‎We consider a linear programming problem in a general form and suppose that all coefficients may vary in some prescribed intervals‎. ‎Contrary to classical models‎, ‎where parameters can attain any value from the interval domains independently‎, ‎we study problems with linear dependencies between the parameters‎. ‎We present a class of problems that are easily solved by reduction to the classical case‎. ‎In contrast‎, ‎we also show a class of problems with very simple dependencies‎, ‎which appear to be hard to deal with‎. ‎We also point out some interesting open problems‎.
