Advances in Linear and Integer Programming (Oxford Lecture Series in Mathematics And its Applications)

In recent years there has been an explosion of research into linear programming, as well as further steady advances in integer programming. This research has been reported in the literature, but little has been done from the view of a "combined whole." This book aims to overcome this. With an international authorship of contributors from acknowledged experts in their field, it provides a clear exposition on such topics as simplex algorithms, interior point algorithms, and integer programming. Surveying recent research that is currently only available in journals, this topical book will be of interest not only in the field of mathematics, but in computer science and operations research as well.
