Description for Mass Transportation Problems
Hardback. Mass transportation problems concern the optimal transfer of masses from one location to another. This first of two volumes is a useful reference for researchers in applied probability, operations research, computer science, and mathematical economics. Series: Probability and its Applications. Num Pages: 534 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PBW; PHF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 30. Weight in Grams: 929.
The first comprehensive account of the theory of mass transportation problems and its applications. In Volume I, the authors systematically develop the theory with emphasis on the Monge-Kantorovich mass transportation and the Kantorovich-Rubinstein mass transshipment problems. They then discuss a variety of different approaches towards solving these problems and exploit the rich interrelations to several mathematical sciences - from functional analysis to probability theory and mathematical economics. The second volume is devoted to applications of the above problems to topics in applied probability, theory of moments and distributions with given marginals, queuing theory, risk theory of probability metrics and its ...
