ABSTRACT
"Combines the theoretical and practical aspects of linear and integer programming. Provides practical case studies and techniques, including rounding-off, column-generation, game theory, multiobjective optimization, and goal programming, as well as real-world solutions to the transportation and transshipment problem, project scheduling, and decentr
Linear optimisation; basic concepts; Dantzig's simplex method; duality and optimality; sensitivity analysis; karmarkar's interior path method; integer linear optimisation; linear network models; computational complexity issues; model building, case studies, and advanced techniques; solutions to selected exercises. Appendices: linear algebra; convexity; graph theory; optimisation theory; computer package INTPM.
