Description
This book aims to present recent developments and new trends in
Combinatorial Optimization. The topics include, among others, complexity
analysis, exact and heuristic methods, cutting-plane techniques,
approximation algorithms, computational complexity and network design
algorithms.
Combinatorial Optimization is an active research area that has
applications in many domains such as communications, network design,
VLSI, scheduling, production and computational biology. In recent years,
new results and major advances have been seen in many areas including
computational complexity, approximation algorithms, cutting-plane-based
methods and submodularity function minimization. More efficient and
powerful methods have been developed for approaching real-world
problems, and new concepts and theoretical results have been introduced.
This book presents a collection of chapters surveying some of these
advances
