Opis

The book contains reproductions of the most important papers that gave birth to the first developments in nonlinear programming. Of particular interest is W. Karush's often quoted Master Thesis, which is published for the first time. The anthology includes an extensive preliminary chapter, where the editors trace out the history of mathematical programming, with special reference to linear and nonlinear programming.​

Recenzje

From the book reviews:

"The present volume has collected the classical papers that laid down the foundations of nonlinear optimizations. ... The book is invaluable for those who would like to see the origin of nonlinear programming. It is very helpful for teachers and students of the field." (Péter Hajnal, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum (Szeged), Vol. 80 (1-2), 2014)
