The Primary Objective Underlying The Handbook On Modelling For Discrete Optimization Is To Demonstrate And Detail The Pervasive Nature Of Discrete Optimisation. While Its Applications Cut Across An Wide Range Of Activities, Many Of The Applications Are Only Known To Specialists. The Aim Of This Handbook Is To Correct This. It Has Long Been Recognized That Modelling Is A Critically Important Mathematical Activity In Designing Algorithms For Solving These Discrete Optimization Problems. Nevertheless Solving The Resultant Models Is Also Often Far From Straightforward. In Recent Years It Has Become Possible To Solve Many Large-scale Discrete Optimization Problems. However, Some Problems Remain A Challenge, Even Though Advances In Mathematical Methods, Hardware, And Software Technology Have Pushed The Frontiers Forward. This Handbook Couples The Difficult, Critical-thinking Aspects Of Mathematical Modeling With The Hot Area Of Discrete Optimization. It Will Be Done In An Academic Handbook Treatment Outlining The State-of-the-art For Researchers Across The Domains Of The Computer Science, Math Programming, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, And Operations Research. Included In The Handbook's Treatment Are Results From Graph Theory, Logic, Computer Science, And Combinatorics. Part I. Methods -- The Formulation And Solution Of Discrete Optimisation Models / H.
