Abstract

From the Publisher: The theory of discrete convex analysis has attracted the interest of many researchers in the field of optimization. Discrete Convex Analysis provides the information that professionals in optimization will need to 聰catch up聰 with this new theoretical development. It also presents an unexpected connection between matroid theory and mathematical economics and expounds a deeper connection between matrices and matroids than most standard textbooks. Professionals in areas other than optimization will enjoy applying these new mathematical techniques and ideas to their own problems. About the Author: Kazuo Murota is a Professor in the Department of Mathematical Informatics, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, at the University of Tokyo. His current research interest is mathematical methods in and for engineeringin particular, discrete mathematics (combinatorial optimization on matroids and related structures), combinatorial matrix theory, numerical analysis, and group-theoretic methods for structural engineering. He is a member of SIAM, the Japan Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Mathematical Programming Society, and the Operations Research Society of Japan.
