Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Linear programming represents one of the major applications of mathematics to business, industry, and economics. It provides a methodology for optimizing an output given that is a linear function of a number of inputs. George Dantzig is widely regarded as the founder of the subject with his invention of the simplex algorithm in the 1940's. This second volume is intended to add to the theory of the items discussed in the first volume. It also includes additional advanced topics such as variants of the simplex method; interior point methods (early and current methods), GUB, decomposition, integer programming, and game theory. Graduate students in the fields of operations research, industrial engineering and applied mathematics will find this volume of particular interest.

Synopsis

Linear programming represents one of the major applications of mathematics to business, industry, and economics. George Dantzig is widely regarded as the founder of this subject with his invention of the simplex algorithm in the 1940's. This second volume adds to the theory of the items discussed in the first volume. In addition, it includes advanced topics including variants of the simplex method, interior point methods (early and current methods), GUB, decomposition, integer programming, and game theory.

Review

From the reviews:

"This book has a remarkable pair of authors. ... The book contains a large number of examples to illustrate definitions and results. ... While the book is intended as an advanced graduate-level text, I believe that the book, with its wealth of material and detailed examples, is very useful also to upper undergraduate students ... as well as to researchers and practitioners. ... All in all, I think the book is a good value for money for both libraries and individuals." (G Gutin, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Issue 56, 2005)

"This book is the second volume of ‘Linear Programming’ by G.B. Dantzig, and M.N. Thapa ... . The content of the book is about equally split between Linear Programming theory and extensions. ... The book is an essential companion to the first volume ... . As a textbook, the numerous examples and illustrations, especially worked examples of the application of algorithms, are very useful to convey the necessary intuition about the mathematical concepts. ... is also a good reference volume on linear programming." (Matthias Ehrgott, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1029, 2004)

"This is Volume 2 of Linear programming ... focussing on the mathematical theory with detailed proofs of all the results. Because of its complete and comprehensive coverage, this volume makes a very attractive textbook for a proof-oriented graduate level course in linear programming (LP). ... It is great having such a comprehensive book on the theory of LP written by the originator of the subject ... . The book belongs in the personal collection of all the people doing research in optimization." (K.G. Murty, Mathematical Reviews, 2004e)

"The authors deal with theory and extensions of LP. ... The book contains detailed proofs, worked examples, many exercises and an extensive bibliography, and each chapter is concluded with bibliographical hints and a comprehensive list of problems. This book, coauthored by the originator of the subject, is well-suited as a textbook and a reference on LP." (W. Huyer, Monatshefte f�r Mathematik, Vol. 146 (1), 2005)

"The book is unique in its integrated treatment ... . The exercises in the book are challenging ... . And the notes at the end of each chapter are especially interesting, because they encapsulate the authors’ perspective on and assessment of the current state-of-the-art of linear programming and its extensions." (J.L. Nazareth, SIAM Review, Vol. 46 (3), 2004)

"In 1997, 50 years after the invention of the simplex method, Dantzig and Thapa published Linear programming ... . Volume 2, published in 2003, gives a systematic treatment of the theory for readers with a working knowledge of the simplex method and basic linear algebra. ... The book is very carefully and clearly written, with plenty of discussion and commentary on the results and methods, and many worked examples. ... In all respects this is an outstanding advanced text on linear programming." (David Griffel, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 88 (513), 2004)

"The book is a continuation of Linear Programming 1 ... . The text with full proofs of important theorems and a multitude of exercises invites the reader to actively work on topics ... . each chapter contains a Notes & Selected Biography section which provides the reader with a comprehensive discussion of the scientific literature for further study. The book contains an appendix which provides an overview of probability theory. ... The book ... provides excellent reading materials for a graduate course on the topic." (R. A. Zuidwijk, Kwantitatieve Methoden, 2006)

You have the right to revoke this contract within fourteen days without giving reasons.
The revocation period is fourteen days from the day,

on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods, provided that you have ordered one or more goods within the framework of a uniform order and these are or will be delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last goods, provided that you have ordered several goods within the framework of a single order and these are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last partial shipment or the last piece, provided that you have ordered goods that are delivered in several partial shipments or pieces;

In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (AHA-BUCH GmbH, Garlebsen 48, 37574 Einbeck, telephone number: 05563 9996039, fax number: 05563 9995974, e-mail address: service@aha-buch.de) of your decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.B. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You can use the attached model withdrawal form, but this is not mandatory.

To comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of revocation before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of revocation

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your revocation of this contract.
For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.

You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any case at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days.

You bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

Reasons for exclusion or extinction

The right of revocation does not apply to contracts

for the delivery of goods which are not prefabricated and for the manufacture of which an individual choice or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer;
for the delivery of goods that can spoil quickly or whose expiry date would be exceeded quickly;
for the delivery of alcoholic beverages, the price of which was agreed at the time of conclusion of the contract, but which can be delivered at the earliest 30 days after conclusion of the contract and whose current value depends on fluctuations in the market over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for the delivery of newspapers, magazines or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts.

The right of revocation expires prematurely in the case of contracts

for the delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene, if their seal has been removed after delivery;
for the delivery of goods if they have been inseparably mixed with other goods after delivery due to their nature;
for the delivery of sound or video recordings or computer software in a sealed package, if the seal has been removed after delivery.
