6 PREFACE Problems in combinatorial analysis range from the study of finite geometries, through algebra and number theory, to the domains of communication theory and transportation networks. Although the questions that arise are all problems of arrangement, they differ enormously in the superficial form in which they arise, and quite often intrinsically, as well. Perhaps the greatest discrepancy is between the discrete problems involving the construction of designs and the continuous problems of linear inequalities. Nevertheless, in a number of the papers that are presented a basic unity of the whole theory is brought to light. For example, Alan Hoffman has shown that many problems of discrete choice and arrangement may be solved in an elegant fashion by means of recent developments of the theory of linear inequalities, a continuation of work of Dantzig and Fulkerson. Similarly, Robert Kalaba and Richard Bellman have shown that a variety of combinatorial problems arising in the study of scheduling and transportation can be treated by means of functional equation techniques. Marshall Hall has observed that the solution of a problem in arrangements, in particular, the construction of pairs of orthogonal squares, is precisely equivalent to solving a certain equation for a matrix with nonnegative real entries. A very challenging area of research which is investigated in a number of the papers that follow is that of using a computer to attack combinatorial questions, both by means of theoretical algorithms and by means of sophisticated search techniques. Papers by Paige and Tompkins, Walker, Gerstenhaber, Flood, Gleason, Lehmer, Swift, Todd, and Gomory, discuss versions of this fundamental problem. Following the manner in which the Symposium was divided into four sessions, the Proceedings are divided into four sections. These are: I. Existence and construction of combinatorial designs. II. Combinatorial analysis of discrete extremal problems. III. Problems of communications, transportation and logistics. IV. Numerical analysis of discrete problems. What is very attractive about this field of research is that it combines both the most abstract and most nonquantitative parts of mathematics with the most arithmetic and numerical aspects. It shows very clearly that the discovery of a feasible solution of a particular problem may necessitate enormous theoretical advances. Perhaps the moral of the tale is that the division into pure and applied mathematics is certainly artificial and to the detriment of the enthusiasts on both sides. Furthermore, the way in which
7 vi PREFACE apparently simple problems require a complex medley of algebraic, geometric, analytic and numerical considerations shows that the traditional subdivisions of mathematics are themselves too rigidly labelled. There is one subject, mathematics, and one type of problem, a mathematical problem. RICHARD BELLMAN, The RAND Corporation MARSHALL HALL, Jr., California Institute of Technology
