Tasks and methods of linear programming. Book 1: Mathematical foundations and practical. Yudin D.B.

This book provides a systematic presentation of theoretical foundations, methods and applications of one of the most important sections of the mathematical theory of management and planning - linear programming.

The authors took into account the methodological comments of linear programming teachers and the experience of computing centers that used The first edition of the book in its practical activities. The presentation of methods and computational procedures is given in a substantially simplified form. This publication is the first part of the work consisting of three books that are simultaneously in the URSS publishing house. The numbering of the pages in all parts is through, since they are a direct continuation of each other; At the same time, all three books can be considered as completely independent works.

Each book contains the list of used literature and an alphabetical index common to all three parts. The first part describes the practical applications of the general and special models of linear programming to the most various sectors of the economy, technology and mathematics, and the mathematical foundations of linear programming are also considered. The book is designed for a wide range of mathematicians, engineers and economists; It can be used as a training management for universities, computing centers, research institutes.
