A discussion of an iterative procedure which yields the value of a game very rapidly. 15 pp....
An illustration of certain algebraic solutions for linear-programming problems in order to show that in the case of reasonably simple problems these techniques are superior to the usual machine-methods...
A demonstration that the simplex procedure itself yields as a natural by-product proofs of several important theorems concerned with duality in the field of linear inequalities.
An extension of RM-1264 and RM-1265, Parts I and II, respectively, of Notes on Linear Programming. The present study presents the computational procedure.
