public class LinearConstraint
extends Object
implements Serializable

A linear constraint for a linear optimization problem.

* A linear constraint has one of the forms:

• c₁x₁ + ... c_nx_n = v
• c₁x₁ + ... c_nx_n <= v
• c₁x₁ + ... c_nx_n >= v
• l₁x₁ + ... l_nx_n + l_cst = r₁x₁ + ... r_nx_n + r_cst
• l₁x₁ + ... l_nx_n + l_cst <= r₁x₁ + ... r_nx_n + r_cst
• l₁x₁ + ... l_nx_n + l_cst >= r₁x₁ + ... r_nx_n + r_cst

The c_i, l_i or r_i are the coefficients of the constraints, the x_i are the coordinates of the current point and v is the value of the constraint.
