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 ...

Improved capabilities and sophistication of mathematical programming systems (model builders, report generators, and mixed integer codes) have considerably expanded the size and scope of real life ...

This paper treats a Markov decision problem with an infinite planning horizon and no discounting. This model is analyzed by application, perhaps repeated, of a simple linear program. With over 12,500 ...
