Linear Programming And Game Theory is a comprehensive guide for students studying linear programming. Summary Of The Book Linear Programming And Game Theory provides a rigorous approach towards the subject and is suitable for both experienced users and beginners. The book contains chapters and exercises that are systematically arranged. It has been written as an introduction to operations research and linear programming for students of economics and mathematics, and covers the major basic aspects of linear programming. This version contains several new illustrations and exercises on the subject; and rejects the sophisticated approach to explaining the subject. It provides a gradual and smooth transition from the conventional approach to the contemporary logical approach, laying a strong foundation for the subject with the students. The table of contents of Linear Programming And Game Theory includes chapters like Linear Programming Problems, Features Of Optimal Solutions, Mathematical Preliminaries, Simplex Method, Degeneracy, Transportation Problems, Duality, Dual Simplex Method, Assignment Problems, Geometrical Aspects of Optimal Solutions, Sensitivity Analysis, Integral Linear Programming and Game Theory. The two appendices at the end of the book are General Mathematical Programming Problems, and Some Advanced Linear Programming Topics. The book includes simple examples and provides the reader with a firm foundation on the subject. About The Authors J. G.
