Informationen zum Autor Professor Schrijver has held tenured positions with the Mathematisch Centrum in Amsterdam, and the University of Amsterdam. He has spent leaves of absence in Oxford and Szeged (Hungary). In 1983 he was appointed to the post of Professor of Mathematics at Tilburg University, The Netherlands, with a partial engagement at the Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica in Amsterdam. Klappentext Theory of Linear and Integer Programming Alexander Schrijver Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica, Amsterdam, The Netherlands This book describes the theory of linear and integer programming and surveys the algorithms for linear and integer programming problems, focusing on complexity analysis. It aims at complementing the more practically oriented books in this field. A special feature is the author's coverage of important recent developments in linear and integer programming. Applications to combinatorial optimization are given, and the author also includes extensive historical surveys and bibliographies. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in operations research, mathematics and computer science. It will also be of interest to mathematical historians.
