CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely

This calculator evaluates the stated minimization linear-program integrality gap: solve linear-relaxation lower bound relation over the valid real-number domain stated below. The implemented relation is b=a/c, evaluated from integrality-gap factor, integer-feasible optimum to produce linear-relaxation lower bound. For a minimization problem, the multiplicative integrality gap compares the integer optimum with its linear-relaxation lower bound. This page isolates linear-relaxation lower bound and verifies it in the original relationship. State whether the problem is minimization or maximization because the ratio convention reverses.

Inputs and valid domain
