Ebook: Linear Programming and Network Flows

Linear Programming and Network Flows, now in its third edition, addresses the problem of minimizing or maximizing a linear function in the presence of linear equality or inequility constraints. This book:
* Provides methods for modeling complex problems via effective algorithms on modern computers.
* Presents the general theory and characteristics of optimization problems, along with effective solution algorithms.
* Explores linear programming (LP) and network flows, employing polynomial-time algorithms and various specializations of the simplex method.
