Rave reviews for INTEGER AND COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION

"This book provides an excellent introduction and survey of
traditional fields of combinatorial optimization . . . It is indeed
one of the best and most complete texts on combinatorial
optimization . . . available. [And] with more than 700 entries,
[it] has quite an exhaustive reference list."-Optima

"A unifying approach to optimization problems is to formulate them
like linear programming problems, while restricting some or all of
the variables to the integers. This book is an encyclopedic
resource for such formulations, as well as for understanding the
structure of and solving the resulting integer programming
problems."-Computing Reviews

"[This book] can serve as a basis for various graduate courses on
discrete optimization as well as a reference book for researchers
and practitioners."-Mathematical Reviews

"This comprehensive and wide-ranging book will undoubtedly become a
standard reference book for all those in the field of combinatorial
optimization."-Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society

"This text should be required reading for anybody who intends to do
research in this area or even just to keep abreast of
developments."-Times Higher Education Supplement, London

INTEGER PROGRAMMING Laurence A. Wolsey Comprehensive and
self-contained, this intermediate-level guide to integer
programming provides readers with clear, up-to-date explanations on
why some problems are difficult to solve, how techniques can be
reformulated to give better results, and how mixed integer
programming systems can be used more effectively. 1998
