Overview“To this reviewer’s knowledge, this is the first book accessible to the upper division undergraduate or beginning graduate student that surveys linear programming from the Simplex Method…via the Ellipsoid algorithm to Karmarkar’s algorithm. Moreover, its point of view is algorithmic and thus it provides both a history and a case history of work in complexity theory. The presentation is admirable; Karloff's style is informal...without sacrificing anything necessary for understanding. Diagrams...aid in providing clarity. The end-of-chapter notes are helpful...Recommended highly for acquisition, since it is not only a textbook, but can also be used for independent reading and study.” (Choice Reviews) “The reader will be well served by reading the monograph from cover to cover.” (Mathematics of Computing) “This is a textbook intended for advanced undergraduate or graduate students. It contains both theory and computational practice.” (Zentralblatt Math) “The exposition is clear and elementary; it also contains many exercises and illustrations.” (Mathematical Reviews) “A self-contained, concise mathematical introduction to the theory of linear programming.” (Journal of Economic Literature) Full Product DetailsAuthor: Howard KarloffPublisher: Birkhauser Boston Inc Imprint: Birkhauser Boston Inc Edition: 1st ed.1991. 2nd printing 2008 Dimensions: Width: 15.50cm , Height: 0.80cm , Length: 23.50cm Weight: 0.454kg ISBN: 9780817648435ISBN 10: 0817648437 Pages: 144 Publication Date: 19 November 2008 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
