note = "Funding Information: Acknowledgments. My interest in linear programming was sparked by Robert Garfinkel when we shared an office at Bell Labs. I would like to thank him for his constant encouragement, advice, and support. This book benefited greatly from the thoughtful comments and suggestions of David Bernstein and Michael Todd. I would also like to thank the following colleagues for their help: Ronny Ben-Tal, Leslie Hall, Yoshi Ikura, Victor Klee, Irvin Lustig, Avi Mandelbaum, Marc Meketon, Narcis Nabona, James Orlin, Andrzej Ruszczynski, and Henry Wolkowicz. I would like to thank Gary Folven at Kluwer and Fred Hillier, the series editor, for encouraging me to undertake this project. I would like to thank my students for finding many typos and occasionally more serious errors: John Gilmartin, Jacinta Warnie, Stephen Woolbert, Lucia Wu, and Bing Yang. My thanks to Erhan C¸ ınlar for the many times he offered advice on questions of style. I hope this book reflects positively on his advice. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research for supporting me while writing this book. In a time of declining resources, I am especially grateful for their support. Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.",
