Описание: This book is about constrained optimization. It begins with a thorough treatment of linear programming and proceeds to convex analysis, network flows, integer programming, quadratic programming, and convex optimization. Along the way, dynamic programming and the linear complementarity problem are touched on as well. The book aims to be a first introduction to the subject. Specific examples and concrete algorithms precede more abstract topics. Nevertheless, topics covered are developed in some depth, a large number of numerical examples are worked out in detail, and many recent topics are included, most notably interior-point methods. The exercises at the end of each chapter both illustrate the theory and, in some cases, extend it.
