This self-contained book provides a systematic account of the main algorithms derived from the simplex method and the means by which they may be organized into effective procedures for solving practical linear programming problems on a computer. The book begins by characterizing the problem and the method used to solve it, and goes on to deal with the practicalities of the subject, emphasizing concerns of implementation. The final section of the book discusses the basic principles of optimization: duality, decomposition, and homotopy. In conjunction with the simplex method, they each lead to other key algorithms of linear programming. The author's approach is distinguished by his detailed exploration of ideas and issues that centre on the need to structure data suitably, and to organize calculations in an efficient and numerically stable manner. Unlike many linear programming texts, the author's overall perspective is grounded in nonlinear programming rather than combinatorics.

The fitting of a curve or surface through a set of observational data is a very frequent problem in different disciplines (mathematics, engineering, medicine, ...) with many interesting applications. This book describes the algorithms and mathematical fundamentals of a widely used software package for data fitting with (tensor product) splines. As such it gives a survey of possibilities and benefits but also of the problems to cope with when approximating with this popular type of function. In particular it is demonstrated in detail how the properties of B-splines can be fully exploited for improving the computational efficiency and for incorporating different boundary or shape preserving constraints. Special attention is also paid to strategies for an automatic and adaptive knot selection with intent to obtain serious data reductions. The practical use of the smoothing software is illustrated with many examples, academic as well as taken from real life.
