Combinatorial Optimization
Cook, William J. / Cunningham, William H. / Pulleyblank, William R. / Schrijver, Alexander
A complete, highly accessible introduction to one of today's most exciting areas of applied mathematics
One of the youngest, most vital areas of applied mathematics, combinatorial optimization integrates techniques from combinatorics, linear programming, and the theory of algorithms. Because of its success in solving difficult problems in areas from telecommunications to VLSI, from product distribution to airline crew scheduling, the field ha...
