From the reviews: "About 30 years ago, when I was a student, the first book on combinatorial optimization came out referred to as "the Lawler" simply. I think t

Historically, there is a close connection between geometry and optImization. This is illustrated by methods like the gradient method and the simplex method, whi

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
