About this title

Synopsis:

A linear optimization problem is the task of minimizing a linear real-valued function of finitely many variables subject to linear con� straints; in general there may be infinitely many constraints. This book is devoted to such problems. Their mathematical properties are investi� gated and algorithms for their computational solution are presented. Applications are discussed in detail. Linear optimization problems are encountered in many areas of appli� cations. They have therefore been subject to mathematical analysis for a long time. We mention here only two classical topics from this area: the so-called uniform approximation of functions which was used as a mathematical tool by Chebyshev in 1853 when he set out to design a crane, and the theory of systems of linear inequalities which has already been studied by Fourier in 1823. We will not treat the historical development of the theory of linear optimization in detail. However, we point out that the decisive break� through occurred in the middle of this century. It was urged on by the need to solve complicated decision problems where the optimal deployment of military and civilian resources had to be determined. The availability of electronic computers also played an important role. The principal computational scheme for the solution of linear optimization problems, the simplex algorithm, was established by Dantzig about 1950. In addi� tion, the fundamental theorems on such problems were rapidly developed, based on earlier published results on the properties of systems of linear inequalities.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
