5.0 out of 5 stars A good text book on mathematics foundations for LP, September 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Linear Programming: A Modern Integrated Analysis (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science) (Hardcover)
The book meets the need for a teacher/research worker in LP theory, given the modern developments after development of Karmarkar's interior point approaches. The chapter 2 gives the basic background about analysis & numerical linear algebra. It makes duality as central theme. ( It differs from earlier OR books, where duality is introduced after simplex algorithm discussed). It is interesting to note the amount of attention paid to the issue of degeneracy. This is the special aspect of the book. The author discusses the interior point methods in a very systmeatic way; giving the necessary proofs. Last chapter discusses the implementation issues. Interestingly, the book has no figures, no diagramms. May the author is against use of them. The author could have given more details about Korbx, or the solvers available ( like AMPL, public domain interior point solvers), so that the reader is made aware the concepts dealt in the book is useful even for users of LP.
