An application of the transportation method of linear programming to a production planning problem of a large footwear manufacturer is described. Factors affecting the choice of approach are discussed ...

This paper presents an in-depth computational comparison of the basic solution algorithms for solving transportation problems. The comparison is performed using "state of the art" computer codes for ...

The book also addresses linear programming duality theory and its use in algorithm design as well as the Dual Simplex Method, Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, and a primal-dual interior point algorithm.

Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...
