Separated linear programming problems can be used to model a wide range of real-world applications such as in communications, manufacturing, transportation, and so on. In this paper, we investigate novel formulations for two classes of these problems using the methodology of time scales. As a special case, we obtain the classical separated continuous-time model and the state-constrained separated continuous-time model. We establish some of the fundamental theorems such as the weak duality theorem and the optimality condition on arbitrary time scales, while the strong duality theorem is presented for isolated time scales. Examples are given to demonstrate our new results
