NettetLecture Notes: Linear-Programming Methods Instructor: Viswanath Nagarajan Scribe: Kevin J. Sung & more A fourth technique in approximation algorithms is the use of linear programs. Linear programs (LPs) are optimization problems with a linear objective and linear constraints{ these can be solved in polynomial time. NettetThis is a very slight revision of the notes used for Math 19b in the Spring 2009 semester. These are written by Cliff Taubes (who developed the course), but re-formatted and slightly revised for Spring 2010. Any errors you might find were almost certainly introduced by these revisions and thus are not the fault of the original author.

We can use algorithms for linear program-ming to solve the max-flow problem, solve the min-cost max-flow problem, find minimax-optimal http://www.cs.uu.nl/docs/vakken/mads/LectureNotesILP.pdf mark t byrum facebook
