This book systematically explores theories related to linguistic computational models and group decision making methods under uncertainty. It introduces innovative linguistic computational models capable of fusing complex linguistic information, including multi-granular linguistic information, unbalanced linguistic information and hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Building upon the linguistic computational models, this book presents methods tailored to various types of group decision making problems under uncertainty. Additionally, it delves into group decision making problems where the personalized individual semantics of experts are considered. The book also showcases practical applications of the proposed group decision making methods, ranging from ERP system supplier selection to talent recruitment, subway line selection, and location selection for electric vehicle charging stations. By shedding light on novel models for modeling complex linguistic information and introducing new approaches to addressing linguistic group decision making challenges, this book offers valuable insights for engineers, researchers, and postgraduates interested in decision analysis, operations research, computational intelligence, management science and engineering, and related fields.

Organized into two volumes. this book represents a real breakthrough in the field of linear programming (LP). The first volume addresses fundamentals, including geometry of feasible region, simplex method, implementation of simplex method, duality and dual simplex method, sensitivity analysis and parametric LP, generalized simplex method, decomposition method, interior-point method and integer LP method, as well as reflects the state of art by highlighting new results, such as efficient primal and dual pivot rules, primal and dual Phase-I methods. The second volume introduces contributions of the author himself, such as reduced and D-reduced-simplex methods, generalized reduced and dual reduced simplex methods, deficient-basis and dual deficient-basis-simplex methods, and face and dual face methods with Cholesky factorization, as well as with LU factorization. As a monograph, this book is a rare work in LP, containing many noval ideas and methods, supported by complete computational results. As revealed from the perspective of theory, the most recently achieved results, such as reduced and D-reduced simplex methods, as well as ILP solvers--- controlled-cut and controlled-branch methods, are very significant and promising, though there are no computational results available at this stage. With a focus on computation, the content of this book ranges from simple to profound, clear and fresh. In particular, all algorithms are accompanied by examples for demonstration whenever possible. As a milestone of LP, this book is an indispensable tool for undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, practitioners and researchers, in LP and related fields.

This textbook provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide for new public transport modelers. It includes an introduction to mathematical modeling, continuous and discrete optimization, numerical optimization, computational complexity analysis, metaheuristics, and multi-objective optimization. These tools help engineers and modelers to use better existing public transport models and also develop new models that can address future challenges. By reading this book, the reader will gain the ability to translate a future problem description into a mathematical model and solve it using an appropriate solution method. The textbook provides the knowledge needed to develop highly accurate mathematical models that can serve as decision support tools at the strategic, tactical, and operational planning levels of public transport services. Its detailed description of exact optimization methods, metaheuristics, bi-level, and multi-objective optimization approaches together with the detailed description of implementing these approaches in classic public transport problems with the use of open source tools is unique and will be highly useful to students and transport professionals.
