β¦ Synopsis
Combinatorial problems have been from the very beginning part of the history of mathematics. By the Sixties, the main classes of combinatorial problems had been defined. During that decade, a great number of research contributions in graph theory had been produced, which laid the foundations for most of the research in graph optimization in the following years. During the Seventies, a large number of special purpose models were developed. The impressive growth of this field since has been strongly determined by the demand of applications and influenced by the technological increases in computing power and the availability of data and software. The availability of such basic tools has led to the feasibility of the exact or well approximate solution of large scale realistic combinatorial optimization problems and has created a number of new combinatorial problems.

This is the most comprehensive compilation on combinatorial optiomization I have seen so far. Usually, Papadimitriou's book is a good place for this material - but in many cases, looking for proofs and theorems - I had to use several books: (*) Combinatorial Optimization Algorithms and Complexity by
<span>This comprehensive textbook on combinatorial optimization places specialemphasis on theoretical results and algorithms with provably goodperformance, in contrast to heuristics. It is based on numerous courses on combinatorial optimization and specialized topics, mostly at graduate level. This
This book develops geometric techniques for proving the polynomial time solvability of problems in convexity theory, geometry, and, in particular, combinatorial optimization. It offers a unifying approach which is based on two fundamental geometric algorithms: the ellipsoid method for finding a poin
