Linear and Integer Programming vs Linear Integration and Counting: A Duality Viewpoint by Jean-Bernard LasserreEnglish | True PDF | 2009 | 167 Pages | ISBN : 038709413X | 1.94 MB
In this book the author analyzes and compares four closely related problems, namely linear programming, integer programming, linear integration, linear summation (or counting). The focus is on duality and the approach is rather novel as it puts integer programming in perspective with three associated problems, and permits one to define discrete analogues of well-known continuous duality concepts, and the rationale behind them.
