This clearly written, mathematically rigorous text includes a novel algorithmic exposition of the simplex method and also discusses the Soviet ellipsoid algorithm for linear programming efficient algorithms for network flow, matching, spanning trees, and matroids the theory of NP complete problems approximation algorithms, local search heuristics for NP complete problems, All chapters are supplemented by thought provoking problems A useful work for graduate level students with backgrounds in computer science, operations research, and electrical engineering Mathematicians wishing a self contained introduction need look no further American Mathematical Monthly. New Download [ Combinatorial Optimization ] Author [ Christos H. Papadimitriou ] For Kindle ePUB or eBook – kino-fada.fr An immediate classic and still the basic textbook in its field, you simply will not find a better deal than this 19.95 gift to the combinatorially minded public from the wonderful folk at Dover Mathematical Publishing sniff god bless and keep those men.First I m no expert in optimization, and this might be one reason why I did not like this book that much I also skipped a good portion of the book, which I considered not being relevant for my work One of the main drawbacks of this book is that, although the title speaks of combinatorial optimization, the topic is integer linear programming I would have preferred at least a few chapters on nonlinear integer problems.Chapter 2 concerned the simplex algorithm and was a pleasure to read Chap First I m no expert in optimization, and this might be one reason why I did not like this book that much I also skipped a good portion of the book, which I considered not being relevant for my work One of the main drawbacks of this book is that, although the title speaks of combinatorial optimization, the topic is integer linear programming I would have preferred at least a few chapters on nonlinear integer problems.Chapter 2 concerned the simplex algorithm and was a pleasure to read Chapter 3 dealt with the dual of a program, a concept which still escapes my understanding I skipped Chapters 4 7 which concern the primal dual algorith...a 19 classic text on combinatorial optimization thank you dover.another gem from Dover
