In [[mathematical optimization]], '''linear-fractional programming''' ('''LFP''') is a generalization of [[linear programming]] (LP). Whereas the objective function in a linear program is a [[linear functional|linear function]], the objective function in a linear-fractional program is a ratio of two linear functions. A linear program can be regarded as a special case of a linear-fractional program in which the denominator is the constant function 1.
