This project aims at popularizing the usage of numerical methods, and in particular, linear programming techniques, for solving various types of information- and incentive-constrained problems in ...

Our main contribution is a new linear programming technique that we introduce as a tool for obtaining and analyzing algorithms for the secretary problem and its variants.

Designing telephone networks, routing airplanes and scheduling petroleum- refinery production are just a few problems that have been solved by a mathematical technique called linear programming.

The present paper deals with the problem of maximizing the ratio of two linear functions subject to a set of linear equalities and nonnegativity constraints on the variables. The problem is attacked ...
