Linear programming and algorithms for communication networks. A practical guide to network design, control and management (Q2915363)

This textbook is intended to provide the fundamentals of linear programming as applied to communication networks and a practical guide on how to solve communication-related problems using linear programming solver. For this purpose, the GLPK package (a software package to solve linear programming problems, developed by Andrew O. Makhorin, freely available), which is intended for solving linear programming problems, integer linear programming problems and mixed integer linear programming problems, is adopted in this textbook. The book introduces and explains typical practical problems for communication networks and their solutions by providing sufficient programs of GLPK. The book also provides practical algorithms for these problems by solving helpful examples with demonstrations.
