It  begins with a substantial treatment of linear programming and proceeds  to convex analysis, network flows, integer programming, quadratic  programming, and convex optimization. Along the way, dynamic  programming and the linear complementarity problem are touched on as  well. \u003cbr\u003e  This book aims to be the first introduction to the topic. Specific  examples and concrete algorithms precede more abstract topics.  Nevertheless, topics covered are developed in some depth, a large  number of numerical examples worked out in detail, and many recent  results are included, most notably interior-point methods. The  exercises at the end of each chapter both illustrate the theory, and,  in some cases, extend it. \u003cbr\u003e  Optimization is not merely an intellectual exercise: its purpose is to  solve practical problems on a computer. Accordingly, the book comes  with software that implements the major algorithms studied. At this  point, software for the following four algorithms is available:   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe two-phase simplex method \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe primal-dual  simplex method \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe path-following interior-point method  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe homogeneous self-dual methods.£\/LIST£. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792381419\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 418\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378466414732,"sku":"9780792381419","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792381419.jpg?v=1775004454","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792381419","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
