In constrast to "ordinary" sensitivity analysis in linear programming, the tolerance approach considers simultaneous and independent changes in the objective function coefficients and in the right-hand side terms. This approach yields a maximum tolerance percentage such that, as long as selected...

The tolerance approach to sensitivity analysis allows for simultaneous and independent variations of the elements of a column or a row of the coefficient matrix in a standard linear programming problem. In particular, the approach yields a maximum tolerance percentage within which the elements...
