Combinatorial optimization: networks and matroids

📅 August 16, 2021 👤 Eugene L. Lawler 📖 Research Journal 📊 3,375 citations

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Perceptively written text examines optimization problems that can be formulated in terms of networks and algebraic structures called matroids. Chapters cover shortest paths, network flows, bipartite matching, nonbipartite matching, matroids and the greedy algorithm, matroid intersections, and the matroid parity problems.

🔑 Key Findings

  • Chapters cover shortest paths, network flows, bipartite matching, nonbipartite matching, matroids and the greedy algorithm, matroid intersections, and the matroid parity problems.
  • A suitable text or reference for courses in combinatorial computing and concrete computational complexity in departments of computer science and mathematics.

💡 Why This Matters

Mathematical breakthroughs form the theoretical backbone of science, cryptography, data analysis, and engineering.
