Boucherie, Richard J.

Operations research : introduction to models and methods - New Jersey : World Scientific, 2022 - xii, 499 p. ; ill., 25 cm.

Includes index.

All essential topics and even more are covered while keeping the size of the book down (competitive textbooks are lengthy at thousand pages, which is overwhelming for beginning students). LP-sensitivity and post-optimality analysis are presented in an easily understandable manner. Much attention is focused on heuristic solution methods and dynamic optimization. Coverage of more advanced operations research topics, such as Markovian control, inventory and queueing approximations, and networks of queues. A carefully designed collection of motivational examples and problems.
