KANTOROVICH, L.V. & DANTZIG, George B. "Mathematical Methods of Organizing and Planning Production" PLUS 4 papers by Dantzig, "On the Status of Multistage Linear Programming Problems, Part I Special Cases." AND "On the Shortest Route Through a Network". AND "A Machine-Job Scheduling Model". AND "The Truck Dispatching Problem" (with J.H. Ramser). All offered in one full volume of Management Science, Journal of the Institute of Management Sciences, volume 6, 1960, 505pp. Linen-backed decorated boards. Ex-library, though with only one small rubberstamp on the front free-endpaper and the show of a small oval paper shelf marker on spine. Very Good copy, very fresh. [++] The Dantzig papers: "On the Status of Multistage Linear Programming Problems, Part I Special Cases." pp 53-72, AND "On the Shortest Route Through a Network", pp 187-190. AND "A Machine-Job Scheduling Model", pp 191-196. AND "The Truck Dispatching Problem" (with J.H. Ramser), pp 80-91.[++] Also bound with L.V. Kantorovich,"Mathematical Methods of Organizing and Planning Production", pp 366-422.--perhaps this is the most consequential papers of those offered here, with more than 1100 citations. [++] Also: Alan Manne, "Linear Programming and Sequential Decisions", pp 259-267. George Dantzig was one of the three founders of linear programming one of the other two (Leonid Kantorovich and John von Neumann is also present with a contribution in this volume. "Dantzig was one of the three founders of linear programming, a mathematical method used for the optimum allocation of scarce resources among competing activities. Dantzig discovered that many such allocation problems could be formulated as linear computer programs. He also devised an algorithm, known as the simplex method, which allowed these programs to be performed on a large scale and applied to real-world problems" (Hook and Norman, Origins of Cyberspace.) [++] "George B. Dantzig is regarded by most experts as having been the initiator of and leading figure in the revolutionary scientific development of mathematical programming as a powerful method for optimally managing resources in literally thousands of applications in industry and government in the last three decades," said Arthur F. Veinott Jr., professor of management science and engineering. "So pervasive is the influence of Dantzig's simplex method that experts have estimated that from 10 percent to 25 percent of all scientific computation is devoted to it. Indeed, that method is probably the single most widely used algorithm originated in the last six decades."--Stanford News, 25 July, 2005. Codice articolo ABE-1648484116256
