About this title

Synopsis

Collected together in this book are ten state-of-the-art expository articles on the most important topics in optimization, written by leading experts in the field. The book therefore provides a primary reference for those performing research in some area of optimization or for those who have some basic knowledge of optimization techniques but wish to learn the most up-to-date and efficient algorithms for particular classes of problems. The first sections of each chapter are expository and therefore accessible to master's level graduate students. However, the chapters also contain advanced material on current topics of interest to researchers. For instance there are chapters which describe the polynomial-time linear programming algorithms of Khachian and Karmarkar and the techniques used to solve combinatorial and integer programming problems, an order of magnitude larger than was possible just a few years ago. Overall a comprehensive yet lively and up-to-date discussion of the state-of-the-art in optimization is presented in this book.

Review

1990 ...very interesting, clearly and professionally written and inspiring as a source for further researches. Everyone who is interested in optimization should be acquainted with this work. -- Zentralblatt für Mathematik

1990 This highly recommended text is a collection of expository articles written by experts in their field... This book is the first of a series on management science topics written in this format; it is earnestly hoped that the subsequent volumes will adhere to the high standards set by the contributors and editors here. To anyone whose research interests are, or are about to be, optimization, this lively and stimulating book will be invaluable. -- Short Book Reviews
