Graphs, Algorithms, and Optimization

This comprehensive text features clear exposition on modern algorithmic graph theory presented in a rigorous yet approachable way. It covers the major areas of graph theory, including discrete optimization and its connection to graph algorithms. The authors explore surface topology from an intuitive point of view and include detailed discussions on linear programming that emphasize graph theory problems useful in mathematics and computer science. Many algorithms are provided along with the data structure needed to program the algorithms efficiently.
