This book aims to demonstrate and detail the pervasive nature of
Discrete Optimization. The handbook couples the difficult,
critical-thinking aspects of mathematical modeling with the hot area of
discrete optimization. It is done with an academic treatment outlining
the state-of-the-art for researchers across the domains of the Computer
Science, Math Programming, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, and
Operations Research. The book utilizes the tools of mathematical
modeling, optimization, and integer programming to solve a broad range
of modern problems.
