Large Scale Linear and Integer Optimization: A Unified Approach

Rating:
Summary: Original and highly intuitive contribution to the field
Review: The concepts of projection and inverse projection represent a highly original and intuitive contribution to the study of linear and mixed integer programming. These ideas allow Prof. Martin to explore a challenging subject in a manner that is clear and easy to understand. This text is usefull both to the novice looking for an introduction to mathematical optimzation and to the expert interested in exploring a novel approach to the field.

I was especially impressed with the material on how degeneracy can be handled with the Simplex method. The book presents a fascinating twist on Bland's classic row selection rule.
