From the reviews:
“Lasserre has produced a fascinating slim … monograph (much of the work his own) looking at the parallels between linear (respectively integer) programming on the one hand and integration (respectively integer counting) problems on the other hand. … An appendix on various transforms a hundred references and a brief index complete the work which is a welcome addition to an important set of topics.” (J. Borwein, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 f)
“This book is devoted to analysing four important problems: integer programming problem, linear programming problem, linear integration problem, and linear counting problem. … a very specialized book on the integer programming problem and its dual variants. … can be very helpful for researchers working in developing algorithms for the integer programming problem which is a formidable challenging problem. This is a clear and well-written book … .” (E. Almehdawe, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61 (12), 2010)
