This book introduces a novel approach to discrete optimization,
providing both theoretical insights and algorithmic developments that
lead to improvements over state-of-the-art technology. The authors
present chapters on the use of decision diagrams for combinatorial
optimization and constraint programming, with attention to
general-purpose solution methods as well as problem-specific techniques.
The book will be useful for researchers and practitioners in discrete
optimization and constraint programming.
"Decision Diagrams for Optimization is one of the most exciting
developments emerging from constraint programming in recent years. This
book is a compelling summary of existing results in this space and a
must-read for optimizers around the world." [Pascal Van Hentenryck]
