Beschreibung: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 algorithms in combinatorial optimization. We have conceived it as an advanced graduate text which can also be used as an up-to-date reference work for current research. The book includes the essential fundamentals of graph theory, linear and integer programming, and complexity theory. It covers classical topics in combinatorial optimization as well as very recent ones. The emphasis is on theoretical results and algorithms with provably good performance. Applications and heuristics are mentioned only occasionally. Combinatorial optimization has its roots in combinatorics, operations research, and theoretical computer science. A main motivation is that thousands of real-life problems can be formulated as abstract combinatorial optimization problems. We focus on the detailed study of classical problems which occur in many different contexts, together with the underlying theory. Most combinatorial optimization problems can be formulated naturally in terms of graphs and as (integer) linear programs. Therefore this book starts, after an introduction, by reviewing basic graph theory and proving those results in linear and integer programming which are most relevant for combinatorial optimization
