Reviews
From the reviews:
"A review of a large variety of optimization models where decomposition is used, and to present the available methods in a clear, illustrative, and application-oriented way. … The large number of examples and exercises with applications from economics and electrical, mechanical, energy, and civil engineering makes the book extremely valuable for people working in these areas who want to get a quick … and qualified, introduction to relevant decomposition techniques. The large number of exercises makes it attractive as a textbook … ." (K. Schittkowski, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 e)
"Mathematical programming is one of the main techniques used in theoretical and applied operations research (OR). … This book is primarily oriented to the students in science and engineering. However, its material and style of presentation also make it suitable for students of business management, OR, and applied economics. … I think that this book would be valuable in the libraries of all institutions that teach advanced mathematical-programming courses … ."
