    public class LinearConstraint
    extends Object
    implements Serializable
    A linear constraint for a linear optimization problem.

    A linear constraint has one of the forms:

    • c1x1 + ... cnxn = v
    • c1x1 + ... cnxn <= v
    • c1x1 + ... cnxn >= v
    • l1x1 + ... lnxn + lcst = r1x1 + ... rnxn + rcst
    • l1x1 + ... lnxn + lcst <= r1x1 + ... rnxn + rcst
    • l1x1 + ... lnxn + lcst >= r1x1 + ... rnxn + rcst
    The ci, li or ri are the coefficients of the constraints, the xi are the coordinates of the current point and v is the value of the constraint.
