PREFACE
Although the genesis of mathematica! programming cao be traced back to the
work ofL.V. Kantorovich a major advance in the field occurred in 1949
(1.2),
when George Dantzig(3) developed the simplex method for solving the linear
program ming problem. Since that time the subject has grown in various ways:
theory, computing efficiency and applications (4.5.6>. Mathematica! program
ming bas provided a charge which seems to have an endless energy in it.
Harvesting this energy will depend on the work of the mathematica! program
ming community. The ever increasing theoretica! and computationa! develop
ments in mathematica! programming already have applications in science,
engineering, and business activities in the private and public sectors.
The initial idea for this publication was supported by the Australian Society
for Operations Research. The origina! aim was to publish papers in the ASOR
Bulletin. However, significant contributions from international researchers
justifieda separate publication. Further, the involvementofGordon and Breach
Science Publishers has made it available in the international market place,
which would not have been possible under the origina! plan.
The book is divided ioto the foUowiog sectioos:
• Review Articles in Mathematica! Programming
• Multicriteria Optimization
• System Optimization and Heuristics
• Interior-Point Approach and Quadratic Programming
• Computational Efficiency, Methods and Software
• Mathematica! Programming Applications
• Algorithms, Games and Paradox
It is hoped that this book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners,
and that it will provide useful information on recent developments in this
rapidly growing field.
In editing this volume I am indebted to a large number of referees whose
critical comments resulted in a better presentation of the papers. A list of the
names and affiliations of the referees is included in the appendices. My thanks
