Combinatorial Optimization Theory and Algorithms

Combinatorial optimization is one of the youngest and most active areas of discrete mathematics, and is probably its driving force today. It became a subject in its own right about 50 years ago. This book describes the most important ideas, theoretical results, and algo­ rithms in combinatorial opti...
