Download or read book Algorithms written by Sanjoy Dasgupta and published by McGraw-Hill Higher Education. This book was released on 2006 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text, extensively class-tested over a decade at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous without being unduly formal. Features include:The use of boxes to strengthen the narrative: pieces that provide historical context, descriptions of how the algorithms are used in practice, and excursions for the mathematically sophisticated. Carefully chosen advanced topics that can be skipped in a standard one-semester course but can be covered in an advanced algorithms course or in a more leisurely two-semester sequence.An accessible treatment of linear programming introduces students to one of the greatest achievements in algorithms. An optional chapter on the quantum algorithm for factoring provides a unique peephole into this exciting topic. In addition to the text DasGupta also offers a Solutions Manual which is available on the Online Learning Center."Algorithms is an outstanding undergraduate text equally informed by the historical roots and contemporary applications of its subject. Like a captivating novel it is a joy to read." Tim Roughgarden Stanford University
Download or read book Modeling and Solving Linear Programming with R written by Jose M. Sallan and published by OmniaScience. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear programming is one of the most extensively used techniques in the toolbox of quantitative methods of optimization. One of the reasons of the popularity of linear programming is that it allows to model a large variety of situations with a simple framework. Furthermore, a linear program is relatively easy to solve. The simplex method allows to solve most linear programs efficiently, and the Karmarkar interior-point method allows a more efficient solving of some kinds of linear programming. The power of linear programming is greatly enhanced when came the opportunity of solving integer and mixed integer linear programming. In these models all or some of the decision variables are integers, respectively. In this book we provide a brief introduction to linear programming, together with a set of exercises that introduce some applications of linear programming. We will also provide an introduction to solve linear programming in R. For each problem a possible solution through linear programming is introduced, together with the code to solve it in R and its numerical solution.

As a result, this will make an ideal textbook for all those coming to the subject for the first time. Authors' note: A problem recently found with the software is due to a bug in Formula One, the third party commercial software package that was used for the development of the interface. It occurs when the date, currency, etc. format is set to a non-United States version. Please try setting your computer date/currency option to the United States option . The new version of Formula One, when ready, will be posted on WWW.

These C programs and JAVA tools can be found on the book's website. The website also includes new online instructional tools and exercises.
Download or read book Linear Programming written by Yaromir Truma and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear programming (LP), as a specific case of mathematical programming, has been widely encountered in a broad class of scientific disciplines and engineering applications. In view of its fundamental role, the solution of LP has been investigated extensively for the past decades. Due to the parallel-distributed processing nature and circuit-implementation convenience, the neurodynamic solvers based on recurrent neural network (RNN) have been regarded as powerful alternatives to online computation. This book discusses how linear programming is used to plan and schedule the workforce in an emergency room; the neurodynamic solvers, robotic applications, and solution non-uniqueness of linear programming; the mathematical equivalence of simple recourse and chance constraints in linear stochastic programming; and provides a decomposable linear programming model for energy supply chains.
