Handbook on Modelling for Discrete Optimization

This book aims to demonstrate and detail the pervasive nature of Discrete Optimization. The handbook couples the difficult, critical-thinking aspects of mathematical modeling with the hot area of discrete optimization. It is done with an academic treatment outlining the state-of-the-art for researchers across the domains of the Computer Science, Math Programming, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, and Operations Research. The book utilizes the tools of mathematical modeling, optimization, and integer programming to solve a broad range of modern problems.

From the reviews: "The book consists of a collection of self-contained chapters written by well-respected experts in the field. ! the style of presentation is sufficiently uniform. ! the editors formulate demonstration and communication of the pervasive nature of discrete optimization as their primary goal in producing this book. There are no doubts that they have achieved this goal." (Antanas Zilinskas, Interfaces, Vol. 38 (2), 2008)
