Editorial Review Product Description ‘Such a text — and this is the only one of this type I know of — should be the basis of all instruction in Mathematical Programming. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society ‘An excellent introduction … for students of business administration and people who want to see the utility of operations research. European Journal of Operational Research ‘It will be appreciated very much by practitioners who already have knowledge in the field of mathematical programming. Mathematical Programming Society Newsletter Model Building in Mathematical Programming Fourth Edition H. Paul Williams Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, UK This extensively revised fourth edition of this well-known and much praised book contains a great deal of new material. In particular sections and new problems have been added covering Revenue Management. Hydro Electric Generation, Date Envelopment (efficiency) Analysis, Milk Distribution and Collection and Constraint Programming. The book discusses the general principles of model building in mathematical programming and shows how they can be applied by using simplified but practical problems from widely different contexts. Suggested formulations and solutions are given in the latter part of the book together with computational experience to give the reader a feel for the computation difficulty of solving that particular type of model. Aimed at undergraduates, postgraduates, research students and managers, this book illustrates the scope and limitations of mathematical programming, and shows how it can be applied to real situations. By emphasizing the importance of the building and interpretation of models rather than the solution process, the author attempts to fill a gap left by the many works which concentrate on the algorithmic side of the subject.

The best book on *practical* model building
Great OR book
Excellent
The Best Book of Its Kind I highly recommend this book for linear and mixed-integer modelers.However, if you don't use these types of solvers in your work, the book is less likely to be valuable.
Good book for every one |

Editorial Review Product Description From finding the least-cost method for manufacturing a given product to determining the most profitable use for a given resource, there are countless practical applications for linear programming models. This self-contained book and disk set provides everything you need to know to apply linear programming to real-world situations—how to prepare input, how to interpret output, what to do if the model will not solve, and how to make your results useful and usable—while entrusting the hard-core arithmetic to the user-friendly computer package on disk. Written in clear prose that stays away from the complex mathematics underlying the technique, Introduction to Practical Linear Programming contains: |

Editorial Review Product Description In 1958, Ralph E. Gomory transformed the field of integer programming when he published a short paper that described his cutting-plane algorithm for pure integer programs and announced that the method could be refined to give a finite algorithm for integer programming. In January of 2008, to commemorate the anniversary of Gomory's seminal paper, a special session celebrating fifty years of integer programming was held in Aussois, France, as part of the 12th Combinatorial Optimization Workshop. This book is based on the material presented during this session. 50 Years of Integer Programming offers an account of featured talks at the 2008 Aussois workshop, namely - Michele Conforti, Gérard Cornuéjols, and Giacomo Zambelli: Polyhedral Approaches to Mixed Integer Linear Programming - William Cook: 50+ Years of Combinatorial Integer Programming - Francois Vanderbeck and Laurence A. Wolsey: Reformulation and Decomposition of Integer Programs It includes a DVD containing a recording of the three original lectures as well as a panel discussion with six pioneers. The book contains reprints of key historical articles together with new introductions and historical perspectives by the authors: Egon Balas, Michel Balinski, Jack Edmonds, Ralph E. Gomory, Arthur M. Geoffrion, Alan J. Hoffman & Joseph B. Kruskal, Richard M. Karp, Harold W. Kuhn, and Ailsa H. Land & Alison G. Doig. It also contains written versions of survey lectures on six of the hottest topics in the field by distinguished members of the integer programming community: - Friedrich Eisenbrand: Integer Programming and Algorithmic Geometry of Numbers - Raymond Hemmecke, Matthias Köppe, Jon Lee, and Robert Weismantel: Nonlinear Integer Programming - Andrea Lodi: Mixed Integer Programming Computation - Francois Margot: Symmetry in Integer Linear Programming - Franz Rendl: Semidefinite Relaxations for Integer Programming - Jean-Philippe P. Richard and Santanu S. Dey: The Group-Theoretic Approach to Mixed Integer Programming Integer programming holds great promise for the future, and continues to build on its foundations. Indeed, Gomory's finite cutting-plane method for the pure integer case is currently being reexamined and is showing new promise as a practical computational method. This book is a uniquely useful celebration of the past, present and future of this important and active field. Ideal for students and researchers in mathematics, computer science and operations research, it exposes mathematical optimization, in particular integer programming and combinatorial optimization, to a broad audience. |

Editorial Review Product Description Incorporating a number of the author’s recent ideas and examples, Dynamic Programming: Foundations and Principles, Second Edition presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of dynamic programming. The author emphasizes the crucial role that modeling plays in understanding this area. He also shows how Dijkstra’s algorithm is an excellent example of a dynamic programming algorithm, despite the impression given by the computer science literature. New to the Second Edition Taking into account recent developments in dynamic programming, this edition continues to provide a systematic, formal outline of Bellman’s approach to dynamic programming. It looks at dynamic programming as a problem-solving methodology, identifying its constituent components and explaining its theoretical basis for tackling problems. |

Not useless
The book gives no insight into the subject. The book is essentially a watered down version of a few topics ininfinite dimensional optimization and functional analysis.TheL1 theory is simply an application of the Hahn Banach theorem toan idealized formulation of the control problem. The problem is then reduced to an infinite dimensional linear program, which, with truncation is reduced to a finite dimensional one.The objective function, however, is not very useful.One can simply use the constraints to obtain a feasible solution to the LP, but the resulting design is difficult to comprehend, and it is difficult to specify margins with this method. So for the control engineer, the book is not very useful.For the mathematicians, it gives little insight into control issues, and talks only of known mathematics.
The does not provide insight into the subject of Control From the point of view of mathematical control theory, the book is simply a watered down version of a few topics in infinite dimensional optimization and functional analysis.It is based onan application of the Hahn Banach theorem to a formulation of thecontrol problem.It also contains a lot of mathematical facts, but it does not tie them well to control theory. So the mathematician will get little insight into the subject of control. Here we have a book that is neither useful to the engineer, nor to the mathematician. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Popular in the first edition for its rich, illustrative examples and lucid explanations of the theory and use of hierarchical linear models (HLM), the book has been reorganized into four parts with four completely new chapters. The first two parts, Part I on "The Logic of Hierarchical Linear Modeling" and Part II on "Basic Applications" closely parallel the first nine chapters of the previous edition with significant expansions and technical clarifications, such as: * An intuitive introductory summary of the basic procedures for estimation and inference used with HLM models that only requires a minimal level of mathematical sophistication in Chapter 3 While the first edition confined its attention to continuously distributed outcomes at level 1, this second edition now includes coverage of an array of outcome types in Part III: * New Chapter 10 considers applications of hierarchical models in the case of binary outcomes, counted data, ordered categories, and multinomial outcomes using detailed examples to illustrate each case The authors conclude in Part IV with the statistical theory and computations used throughout the book, including univariate models with normal level-1 errors, multivariate linear models, and hierarchical generalized linear models.
