The fusion between graph theory and combinatorial optimization has led to theoretically profound and practically useful algorithms, yet there is no book that currently covers both areas together. Handbook of Graph Theory, Combinatorial Optimization, and Algorithms is the first to present a unified, comprehensive treatment of both graph theory and combinatorial optimization.Divided into 11 cohesive sections, the handbook’s 44 chapters focus on graph theory, combinatorial optimization, and algorithmic issues. The book provides readers with the algorithmic and theoretical foundations to: Understand phenomena as shaped by their graph structuresDevelop needed algorithmic and optimization tools for the study of graph structuresDesign and plan graph structures that lead to certain desirable behavior With contributions from more than 40 worldwide experts, this handbook equips readers with the necessary techniques and tools to solve problems in a variety of applications. Readers gain exposure to the theoretical and algorithmic foundations of a wide range of topics in graph theory and combinatorial optimization, enabling them to identify (and hence solve) problems encountered in diverse disciplines, such as electrical, communication, computer, social, transportation, biological, and other networks.

This is the proceedings of the SIGAL International Symposium on Algorithms held at CSK Information Education Center, Tokyo, Japan, August 16-18, 1990. SIGAL (Special Interest Group on Algorithms) was organized within the Information Processing Society of Japan in 1988 to encourage research in the field of discrete algorithms, and held 6-8 research meetings each year. This symposium is the first international symposium organized by SIGAL. In response to the call for papers, 88 papers were submitted from around the world. The program committee selected 34 for presentation at the symposium. The symposium also included 5 invited lectures and 10 invited presentations. The subjects of the papers range widely in the field of discrete algorithms in theoretical computer science. Keywords for these subjects are: computational geometry, graph algorithms, complexity theory, parallel algorithms, distributed computing, and computational algebra.

This volume gives the proceedings of ISAAC '92, the ThirdInternational Symposium on Algorithms and Computation, heldin Nagoya, Japan, December 1992.The first symposium was held in Tokyo in 1990, as the firstinternational symposium organized by SIGAL (Special InterestGroupon Algorithms in the Information Processing Society ofJapan) to serve as anannual international forum in Asia forresearchers in the area of algorithms. The second symposiumwas held in Taipei, Taiwan in 1991, where it was decidedthat computation would be included in the main scope of thesymposium and that ISAAC would be its name.ISAAC '92 focuses on topics in design and analysis ofalgorithms, computational complexity, and theory ofcomputation, including algorithms and data structures,parallel/distributed computing, automata and formallanguages, probabilistic/approximation algorithms,computability and complexity, term rewriting systems, andcomputational geometry. The volume contains the acceptedcontributed papers and the invited papers.

This comprehensive new Springer publication constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2007, held in Sydney, Australia, in September of 2007. The 27 full papers and 9 short papers presented together with 2 invited talks, and a report on the symposium's graph drawing contest were carefully selected from 74 initial submissions. All of the current hot topics in graph drawing are addressed here.
