{"product_id":"integer-programming-9780471283669","title":"Integer Programming","description":"\u003cp\u003eA practical  accessible guide to optimization problems with discrete or integer variables  Integer Programming stands out from other textbooks by explaining in clear and simple terms how to construct custom-made algorithms or use existing commercial software to obtain optimal or near-optimal solutions for a variety of real-world problems  such as airline timetables  production line schedules  or electricity production on a regional or national scale.  Incorporating recent developments that have made it possible to solve difficult optimization problems with greater accuracy  author Laurence A. Wolsey presents a number of state-of-the-art topics not covered in any other textbook. These include improved modeling  cutting plane theory and algorithms  heuristic methods  and branch-and-cut and integer programming decomposition algorithms. This self-contained text:  Distinguishes between good and bad formulations in integer programming problems  Applies lessons learned from easy integer programs to more difficult problems  Demonstrates with applications theoretical and practical aspects of problem solving  Includes useful notes and end-of-chapter exercises  Offers tremendous flexibility for tailoring material to different needs  Integer Programming is an ideal text for courses in integer\/mathematical programming-whether in operations research  mathematics  engineering  or computer science departments. It is also a valuable reference for industrial users of integer programming and researchers who would like to keep up with advances in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651945750581,"sku":"ByrdShop_0471283665","price":221.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780471283669.jpg?v=1781846811","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/integer-programming-9780471283669","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
