Linear Programming Computation [Paperback]

With emphasis on computation, this book is a real breakthrough in the field of LP. In addition to conventional topics, such as the simplex method, duality, and interior-point methods, all deduced in a fresh and clear manner, it introduces the state of the art by highlighting brand-new and advanced results, including efficient pivot rules, Phase-I approaches, reduced simplex methods, deficient-basis methods, face methods, and pivotal interior-point methods. In particular, it covers the determination of the optimal solution set, feasible-point simplex method, decomposition principle for solving large-scale problems, controlled-branch method based on generalized reduced simplex framework for solving integer LP problems.

This landmark work on linear programming includes a wealth of advanced topics such as Phase-I approaches as well as coverage of conventional topics including the simplex method, duality, and interior-point methods, all deduced in a fresh and clear manner.

From the book reviews:

The book seems to be mainly addressed to scientists who already possess some expertise in LP. The kind of presentation, however, also allows using parts of it as a basis for a course on the topic. In fact, a special feature of the book is that al3‹
