7Linear programming — (LP, or linear optimization) is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships.… …
8Linear phase — is a property of a filter, where the phase response of the filter is a linear function of frequency, excluding the possibility of wraps at pmpi. In a causal system, perfect linear phase can be achieved with a discrete time FIR filter.Since a… …
