The death of mathematician George Dantzig is a scientific watershed. Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large organizations.

In this paper, we propose two new perturbation simplex variants. Solving linear programming problems without introducing artificial variables, each of the two uses the dual pivot rule to achieve ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

Constrained network models describe a wide variety of real-world applications ranging from production, inventory, and distribution problems to financial applications. These problems can be solved with ...
