Where I am mistaking?

Hello;

I am trying to make a simple linear programming optimization. I came up with this code:

clear;
y=1663;
f=[100; 100; 100; 100; 100; 100; 100; 100];
A=[1/867.2 1/704.7 1/619.2 1/679 1/770.3 1/658.5 1/749 1/783.1
  -105.2 -74.4 -94.3 -88.2 -108.9 999 -112.7 -91.4 
  -94.1 -71.2 -87.6 -87.8 -99.4 999 -100 -81.2 
  0.5 0.6 4.5 3 28 15 4.5 12.5
  0.78 2.11 0.01 0.01 0.56 0.09 0.02 0.9
  93.63 16.3 0.01 0.01 1.44 0.09 0.03 37.64
  0.82 3.23 0.03 0.36 3.13 29.97 0.04 16.16];
b=[y/0.775; -95*y; -85*y; 10*y; 1*y; 35*y; 18*y];
Aeq=[1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1];
beq=y;
lb=zeros(8,1);
hb=[550; 250; 50; 200; 50; 350; 400, 700];
linprog(f, A, b, Aeq, beq, lb, hb);

When I try to run it, it says that The number of rows in A must be the same as the number of elements of b.

A has 7 rows and b has 7 elements, as it can be seen. I cannot see the mistake. Where is it?

I believe that your Aeq matrix should be a row vector, not a column vector.

Is your A matrix a vector or a matrix? I mean, don't you need some semicolons to separate the rows?

MATLAB mathematical toolbox documentation

Yes, that was the problem. Aeq should have been a row vector. I gotta love Matlab: it shows the error in a line, but the error is in another line :))

A is a matrix and this time I don't need semicolons, because Matlab interprets it as a matrix in the form that is written. In this case, semicolons are not needed.

Thank you for your help.

Read the manual properly.

doc linprog

You are missing some input argument while calling.

[Bogdan]

Yes, I missed one input argument: the objective function. But it still doesn't solve the problem. Neither does writing "x=linprog(...)"

[Dishant Arora]

you getting some error??

[Bogdan]

Same error, yes :)
