Filling the gap between introductory and encyclopedic treatments, this book provides rich and appealing material for a second course in combinatorial optimizati

This is a supplementary volume to the major three-volume Handbook of Combinatorial Optimization set. It can also be regarded as a stand-alone volume presenting

This book grew out of the fourth Special Year at DIMACS, which was devoted to the subject of combinatorial optimization. During the special year, a number of wo

With the advent of approximation algorithms for NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, several techniques from exact optimization such as the primal-dual
