Introduction to Linear Goal Programming (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences)

Goal programming is one of the most widely used methodologies in operations research and management science, and encompasses most classes of multiple objective programming models. Ignizio provides a concise and lucid overview of (a) the linear goal programming model, (b) a computationally efficient algorithm for solution, (c) duality and sensitivity analysis and (d) extensions of the methodology to integer as well as non-linear models.
