Abstract
In this article, we discuss a class of continuous-time linear programming (CLP) problems. We provide a discrete approximation procedure to find numerical solutions of CLP, establish the estimation for the error bound and prove that the searched sequence of approximate solution functions weakly star converges to an optimal solution of CLP. Finally, we provide some numerical examples to implement our proposed method and to show the quality of the proposed error bound.
