9781332270507: A Modern Approach to Computer Systems for Linear Programming (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book presents an innovative approach to linear programming (LP) that is more aligned with the capabilities of high-powered computing systems. LP solvers and Matrix Generators have remained largely unchanged since the 1950s, yet computing technology has vastly outpaced these historic methods, leaving room for improvement. The author proposes a system that uses LP models in Matrix form, interactive and virtual operating systems, and hierarchical file systems to take advantage of contemporary computing advancements. Such a system would create a more seamless workflow, increase accuracy, and eliminate common errors, resulting in LP methods that are more efficient and accessible than ever before. This book will appeal to individuals, researchers, and practitioners who seek a dynamic and comprehensive approach to LP, and is set to make significant contributions to the theory and practice of LP.
