Optimisation appliquée = Optimization applied

Presents the fundamental concepts of classical optimization and linear programming. In addition to a prologue and epilogue, the book includes a section on mathematical theory, covering matrix calculus and systems of linear equations and inequalities. It then deals with classical optimization, both constrained and unconstrained, linear programming, the simplex method, and the revised simplex method. The final chapters are devoted to duality, post-optimization and sensitivity analysis, as well as transportation problems. Emphasis is placed on explaining the methods presented and their applications. Numerous numerical examples drawn from various economic and social situations are provided.
