This book presents recent developments and new trends in Combinatorial Optimization. Combinatorial Optimization is an active research area that has applications in many domains such as communications, network design, VLSI, scheduling, production, computational biology. In the past years, new results and major advances have been seen in many areas including computational complexity, approximation algorithms, cutting-plane based methods and submodularity function minimization. More efficient and powerful methods have been developed for approaching real-worlds problems, and new concepts and theoritical results have been introduced.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Combinatorial Optimization, ISCO 2020, which was due to be held in Montreal, Canada, in May 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The 24 revised full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions.They were organized in the following topical sections: polyhedral combinatorics; integer programming; scheduling; matching; Network Design; Heuristics.
