The 4th Edition of this book introduces theory and applications in optimization, from linear programming to convex analysis, network flows, integer programming, quadratic programming and convex optimization. A related web site offers C programs and JAVA tools.
Robert J. Vanderbei is Professor of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, and Department Chair, OR and Financial Engineering at Princeton University. His research interests are in algorithms for nonlinear optimization and their application to problems arising in engineering and science. Application areas of interest focus mainly on inverse Fourier transform optimization problems and action minimization problems with a special interest in applying these techniques to the design of NASA’s terrestrial planet finder space telescope.
