This book is a result of my teaching mathematical programming to graduate
students of the University of Delhi for over thirty years. In preparing this book,
a special care has been made to see that it is self-contained and that it is suitable
both as a text and as a reference.
The book is divided in three parts. In Part 1, some mathematical topics have
been reviewed to aid the reader in understanding the material discussed and to
equip him with the ability to pursue further study. In Part 2, linear programming
from its origin to the latest developments have been included and Part 3 deals
with non-linear and dynamic programming including some special topics of recent
developments. Several examples and exercises of varying difficulties have been
provided to enable the reader to have a clear understanding of the concepts and
methods discussed in the text.
I am indebted to Prof. George B. Dantzig, who first introduced me to
stochastic programming, way back in 1961, when it was emerging as an important
area of development. I am grateful to Prof. J. Medhi who originally suggested
me to write a book on Mathematical Programming and to Prof. Roger J.B. Wets
for his encouragement in taking up this project. Special thanks are due to my
colleagues Prof. K. Sen, Prof. Manju Agarwal and Prof. J.M. Gupta for their
various suggestions and help during the preparation of the manuscript. I am also
thankful to my many students, particularly Dr. C.K. Jaggi and Dr. G.C. Tuteja
for their numerous help. I am specially thankful to my son Dr. Amit K. Sinha
for his help and continuous insistence for completing the book.
Finally, I must thank Mr. Sanjay Banerjee, Managing Director, Elsevier, South
and South-East Asia, for getting the book published. |
