Integer programming is a subject with extensive applications and a large collection of solution methods and algorithms. Books on integer programming are often narrowly written for experts only, leaving a large interested audience without a text to follow. This book, written with the non-expert in mind, is a valuable collection of the latest developments in the area of integer programming, including theory, algorithms, and applications. It is written cleanly and clearly, and is accessible to practitioners, researchers and students. It addresses traditional models, theoretical aspects of IP problems, and methodologies, as well as timely applications and computational aspects of IP problem solving. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
