Combinatorial optimization is a multidisciplinary scientific area,
lying in the interface of three major scientific domains:
mathematics, theoretical computer science and management.
The three volumes of the Combinatorial Optimization
series aims to cover a wide range of topics in this area. These
topics also deal with fundamental notions and approaches as with
several classical applications of combinatorial optimization.
Concepts of Combinatorial Optimization, is divided into
three parts:
* On the complexity of combinatorial optimization problems, that
presents basics about worst-case and randomized complexity;
* Classical solution methods, that presents the two most-known
methods for solving hard combinatorial optimization problems, that
are Branch-and-Bound and Dynamic Programming;
* Elements from mathematical programming, that presents
fundamentals from mathematical programming based methods that are
in the heart of Operations Research since the origins of this
field.
