Abstract

From the Publisher:In the last ten years the area concerned with the design of approximation algorithms and with the study of the approximability properties of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems has been one of the most active in computer science, and its scientific developments have considerably enriched our understanding of problem complexity and our ability to cope with difficult applications." "This textbook features a compendium documenting the results on the approximability of more than 200 problems; thus the book is also a source of reference for professionals applying advanced optimization and approximation techniques in practice. The CD-ROM included contains a lot of valuable information, such as lecture slides in various data formats, the compendium in electronic version, and the algorithms visualization toolkit JAZ.
