Research Summary

John Tsitsiklis' research interests are in the fields of systems, optimization, control, and operations research. He has written more than 70 journal papers in these areas, and is a co-author of Parallel and Distributed Computation: Numerical Methods (1989, with D. Bertsekas), and Neuro-Dynamic Programming (1996, with D. Bertsekas). His most recent book, Introduction to Linear Optimization (1997, with D. Bertsimas) provides a unified, insightful, and modern treatment of linear optimization-linear programming, network flow problems, and discrete optimization. It includes classical topics as well as the state of the art, in both theory and practice.
