Infinite Programming: Proceedings of an International Symposium on Infinite Dimensional Linear Programming Churchill College, Cambridge, United Kingdom, September 7-10, 1984

Infinite programming may be defined as the study of mathematical programming problems in which the number of variables and the number of constraints are both possibly infinite. Many optimization problems in engineering, operations research, and economics have natural formul- ions as infinite programs. For example, the problem of Chebyshev approximation can be posed as a linear program with an infinite number of constraints. Formally, given continuous functions f,gl,g2, ••• ,gn on the interv...
