in thread Logical Equations

It is not a linear programming problem for at least two reasons. The first is that you're not maximizing a linear function over that search space. The second is that you're not allowed to have fractional numbers in the solution. So a linear algebra package would say that A+B=1, A+C=1 and B+C=1 has a solution, but that would not be a valid solution to the requested problem.

    That's not a problem, since artist is looking of any solution, one that maximizes a certain function will do just fine

    The second is that you're not allowed to have fractional numbers in the solution.

    You're right. I misread can take values only from 0 and 1 as can take values only from 0 to 1.
