Optimization Using Linear Programming (Through Software)  (Paperback, A J Meitei, Veena Jain)

Designed for engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, financial analysts, and anyone interested in using numerical linear algebra, matrix theory, and game theory concepts to maximize efficiency in solving applied problems. This book focuses on solving various types of linear programming problems and its applications by employing different kinds of software, and also includes the necessary definitions and theorems to master theoretical aspects of the topics presented. Salient Features: • Emphasizes the solution of various types of linear programming problems by using different kinds of software, e.g., MS-Excel, solutions of LPPs by Mathematica, MATLAB, WinQSB, and LINDO • Provides definitions, theorems, and procedures for solving problems and all cases related to various linear programming topics. • Includes numerous application examples and exercises, e.g., transportation, assignment, and maximization. Presents numerous topics that can be used to solve problems involving systems of linear equations, matrices, vectors, game theory, simplex method, and many more. The revised edition has taken care of all the shortcomings of the previous edition. A full chapter on Integer Linear Programming Problem (ILPP) has also been included.
