Rezensionen

H.T. Nguyen and V. Kreinovich Applications of Continuous Mathematics to Computer Science "The book represents a fine state-of-the-art description of combinatorial optimization. The book presents not only a lot of well-known solutions but also a row of new results and demonstrates how to formulate and to answer original questions. The comprehensive book covers the scope of a normal textbook on combinatorial optimization and goes beyond the contents of such a book in several aspects, e.g.; this book contains complete proofs. To read this is very stimulating for all the researchers, practitioners, and students in combinatorial optimization."-OR-NEWS
