In 1958, Ralph E. Gomory transformed the field of integer programming when he published a short paper that described his cutting-plane algorithm for pure integer programs and announced that the method could be refined to give a finite algorithm for integer programming. In January of 2008, to commemorate the anniversary of Gomory's seminal paper, a special session celebrating fifty years of integer programming was held in Aussois, France, as part of the 12th Combinatorial Optimization Workshop. This book is based on the material presented during this session.
50 Years of Integer Programming offers an account of featured talks at the 2008 Aussois workshop, namely
- Michele Conforti, Gerard Cornuejols, and Giacomo Zambelli: Polyhedral Approaches to Mixed Integer Linear Programming
- William Cook: 50+ Years of Combinatorial Integer Programming
- Francois Vanderbeck and Laurence A. Wolsey: Reformulation and Decomposition of Integer Programs
The book contains reprints of key historical articles together with new introductions and historical perspectives by the authors: Egon Balas, Michel Balinski, Jack Edmonds, Ralph E. Gomory, Arthur M. Geoffrion, Alan J. Hoffman & Joseph B. Kruskal, Richard M. Karp, Harold W. Kuhn, and Ailsa H. Land & Alison G. Doig.
It also contains written versions of survey lectures on six of the hottest topics in the field by distinguished members of the integer programming community:
- Friedrich Eisenbrand: Integer Programming and Algorithmic Geometry of Numbers
- Raymond Hemmecke, Matthias Koppe, Jon Lee, and Robert Weismantel: Nonlinear Integer Programming
- Andrea Lodi: Mixed Integer Programming Computation
- Francois Margot: Symmetry in Integer Linear Programming
- Franz Rendl: Semidefinite Relaxations for Integer Programming
- Jean-Philippe P. Richard and Santanu S. Dey: The Group-Theoretic Approach to Mixed Integer Programming
Integer programming holds great promise for the future, and continues to build on its foundations. Indeed, Gomory's finite cutting-plane method for the pure integer case is currently being reexamined and is showing new promise as a practical computational method. This book is a uniquely useful celebration of the past, present and future of this important and active field. Ideal for students and researchers in mathematics, computer science and operations research, it exposes mathematical optimization, in particular integer programming and combinatorial optimization, to a broad audience.
Описание: Unequal opportunity sparked Jim Brown’s endeavors to encourage Black development while Billie Jean King fought so that women tennis players could earn more money and enjoy greater freedom. Gregory J. Kaliss examines these events and others to guide readers through the unprecedented wave of protest that swept sports in the 1960s and 1970s. The little-known story of the University of Wyoming football players suspended for their activism highlights an analysis of protests by college athletes. The 1971 Muhammad Ali–Joe Frazier clash provides a high-profile example of the Black male athlete’s effort to redefine Black masculinity. An in-depth look at the American Basketball Association reveals a league that put Black culture front and center with its style of play and shows how the ABA influenced the development of hip-hop. As Kaliss describes the breakthroughs achieved by these athletes, he also explores the barriers that remained--and in some cases remain today.

Описание: 2022 SABR Seymour Medal Finalist for the 2021 CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year
When New York Giants owner Charles A. Stoneham came home one night in 1918 and told his teenage son, Horace, “Horrie, I bought you a ballclub,” he set in motion a family legacy. Horace Stoneham would become one of baseball’s greatest figures, an owner who played an essential role in integrating the game, and who was a major force in making our pastime truly national by bringing Major League Baseball to the West Coast.
Horace Stoneham began his tenure with the Giants in 1924, learning all sides of the operation until he moved into the front office. In 1936, when his father died of kidney disease, Horace assumed control of the Giants at age thirty-two, becoming one of the youngest owners in baseball history.
Stoneham played a pivotal role in not just his team’s history but the game itself. In the mid-1940s when the Pacific Coast League sought to gain Major League status, few but Stoneham and Branch Rickey took it seriously, and twelve years later the Giants and Dodgers were the first two teams to relocate west. Stoneham signed former Negro Leaguers Monte Irvin and Hank Thompson, making the Giants the second National League franchise to racially integrate. In the late 1940s, the Giants hired their first Spanish-speaking scout and soon became the leading team in developing Latin American players.
Stoneham was shy and self-effacing and avoided the spotlight. His relationships with players were almost always strong, yet for all his leadership skills and baseball acumen, sustained success eluded most of his teams. In forty seasons his Giants won just five National League pennants and only one World Series.
The Stoneham family business struggled, and the team was forced to sell off its beloved stars, first Willie Mays, then Willie McCovey, and finally Juan Marichal. Then Stoneham had no choice but to sell the club in 1975. While his tenure came to an unfortunate end, he is heralded as a pioneer and leader whose story tells much of baseball history from the 1930s through the 1970s.

Описание: Poland`s antisemitic pronouncements of March 1968 led nearly 15,000 Jews to emigrate. Considering the denouement of this crisis from many angles, this volume shows that these were intrinsic to the eventual collapse of communism.
Описание: The correspondence of these two prominent women reveals their concerns with love, career, and marriage. Their letters tell the story of the first generation of women to come of age during the twentieth century, as they tried to cope with problems that still face women today.

Описание: Growth Following Adversity in Sport: A Mechanism to Positive Change in Sport is the first text to carefully consider the positive changes that may follow adverse experiences in sport at micro (i.e., individual), meso (e.g., dyadic, team), and macro levels (e.g., organizational, cultural).
How do global changes influence the trajectory of winter sports resorts and their future? What local responses are made in different regions of the world according to historical contexts and specific resources? Based on an interdisciplinary reading of a vast repertoire of cases located in Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania, the book brings together a panel of international reference authors who present their latest work. Their contributions put into perspective many forms of adaptation to climate, economic, social and cultural transformations. This innovative approach, which combines environmental and societal issues, will be of interest to all observers and players in the winter sports sector.
