Linear programming and network flows /

Preface, I linear Programming deals with the problem of minimizing or maximizing a linear function in the presence of linear finequalities. Since the development of the simplex method by George B. Dantzig in 1947, linear programming has been extensively used in the military, industrial, governmental...
