Instructor Fall 2016: Sriram SankaranarayananPrerequisitesCalculus I,II + Algorithms + Linear Algebra.Topics CoveredRoughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending ...

Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

Moreover, a new, ratio-test-free pivoting rule is proposed, significantly reducing computational cost at each iteration. Our numerical experiments show that the method is very promising, at least for ...

In this paper, we first propose a perturbation procedure for achieving dual feasibility, which starts with any basis without introducing artificial variables. This procedure and the dual simplex ...

Eventually linear programming came to be used in everything from manufacturing to diet planning. George Bernard Dantzig was born in Portland, Ore., on Nov. 8, 1914.
