Decision making and programming / V.V. Kolbin ; translated from Russian by V.M. Donets.

The problem of selection of alternatives or the problem of decision making in the modern world has become the most important class of problems constantly faced by business people, researchers, doctors and engineers. The fields that are almost entirely focused on conflicts, where applied mathematics...
