Description for Linear Programming Duality: An Introduction to Oriented Matroids
paperback. Linear Programming Duality is one of the cornerstones in combinatorial optimization. Giving an elementary introduction to the theory of oriented matroids, this book presents an approach which clarifies the theoretical basis of linear programming and also simplifies the proofs of standard results. Series: Universitext. Num Pages: 222 pages, biography. BIC Classification: KCH; PBF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 12. Weight in Grams: 720.
The main theorem of Linear Programming Duality, relating a "pri- mal" Linear Programming problem to its "dual" and vice versa, can be seen as a statement about sign patterns of vectors in complemen- tary subspaces of Rn. This observation, first made by R.T. Rockafellar in the late six- ties, led to the introduction of certain systems of sign vectors, called "oriented matroids". Indeed, when oriented matroids came into being in the early seventies, one of the main issues was to study the fun- damental principles underlying Linear Progra.mrning Duality in this abstract setting. In the present book we tried to ... Read more
