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 ...

Now, to get started on the simplex method, we set all the original variables (x1 and x2 in the case of the XYZ company) to zero, and let the slack variables be non-zero. So for the XYZ problem, the ...

In this paper, a modification of the bisection simplex method is made for more general purpose use. Organized in an alternative simpler form, the modified version exploits information of the optimal ...

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.

The book also addresses linear programming duality theory and its use in algorithm design as well as the Dual Simplex Method, Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, and a primal-dual interior point algorithm.
