Paperback. Theory of Linear and Integer Programming Alexander Schrijver Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica, Amsterdam, The Netherlands This book describes the theory of linear and integer programming and surveys the algorithms for linear and integer programming problems, focusing on complexity analysis. It aims at complementing the more practically oriented books in this field. A special feature is the author's coverage of important recent developments in linear and integer programming. Applications to combinatorial optimization are given, and the author also includes extensive historical surveys and bibliographies. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in operations research, mathematics and computer science. It will also be of interest to mathematical historians.

Riassunto

Als Ergänzung zu den mehr praxisorientierten Büchern, die auf dem Gebiet der linearen und Integerprogrammierung bereits erschienen sind, beschreibt dieses Werk die zugrunde liegende Theorie und gibt einen Überblick über wichtige Algorithmen. Der Autor diskutiert auch Anwendungen auf die kombinatorische Optimierung; neben einer ausführlichen Bibliographie finden sich umfangreiche historische Anmerkungen.
