Are you looking for new lectures for your course on algorithms, combinatorial optimization, or algorithmic game theory?  Maybe you need a convenient source of relevant, current topics for a graduate student or advanced undergraduate student seminar?  Or perhaps you just want an enjoyable look at some beautiful mathematical and algorithmic results, ideas, proofs, concepts, and techniques in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science?  

Gems of Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Algorithms is a handpicked collection of up-to-date articles, carefully prepared by a select group of international experts, who have contributed some of their most mathematically or algorithmically elegant ideas.  Topics include longest tours and Steiner trees in geometric spaces, cartograms, resource buying games, congestion games, selfish routing, revenue equivalence and shortest paths, scheduling, linear structures in graphs, contraction hierarchies, budgeted matching problems, and motifs in networks.  

This volume is aimed at readers with some familiarity of combinatorial optimization, and appeals to researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students alike.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms, WAOA 2015, held in Patras, Greece, in September 2015 as part of ALGO 2015.

The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. Topics of interest for WAOA 2015 were: algorithmic game theory, algorithmic trading, coloring and partitioning, competitive analysis, computational advertising, computational finance, cuts and connectivity, geometric problems, graph algorithms, inapproximability, mechanism design, natural algorithms, network design, packing and covering, paradigms for the design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms, parameterized complexity, scheduling problems,and real-world applications.

This book constitutes therefereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on IntegerProgramming and Combinatorial Optimization, IPCO 2016, held in Liège, Belgium,in June 2016. The 33 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selectedfrom 125 submissions. The conference is a forum for researchers andpractitioners working on various aspects of integer programming andcombinatorial optimization. The aim is to present recent developments intheory, computation, and applications in these areas. The scope of IPCO isviewed in a broad sense, to include algorithmic and structural results ininteger programming and combinatorial optimization as well as revealingcomputational studies and novel applications of discrete optimization topractical problems.
