Proceedings of the Thirty-Seventh Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Computing

Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Computing

This proceedings volume convenes selected, revised papers presented at the 52nd Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Computing (SEICCGTC 2021), virtually held at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, USA, on March 8-12, 2021. As has been a tradition since its inception in 1970, this edition once more brought together mathematicians, practitioners, and scientists around novel findings in combinatorics, graph theory and computing, and their interactions. The lectures and works presented at the Conference have proven to be of great interest to other scientists and analysts employing these mathematical sciences in their professional activities in business, industry, and government. Such an environment promotes a better understanding of the roles of modern applied mathematics, combinatorics, and computer science. Many works have demonstrated that disciplines have increasingly contributed to each other. With this series of Conferences, the gaps between the fields tend to decrease even further. This volume is of particular interest for the community of pure and applied mathematicians in academia, industry, and government, working in combinatorics and graph theory, as well as related areas of computer science and the interactions among these fields. Its findings can also benefit a general audience of practitioners and students from related fields.

Combinatorial Optimization

This book offers an in-depth overview of polyhedral methods and efficient algorithms in combinatorial optimization.These methods form a broad, coherent and powerful kernel in combinatorial optimization, with strong links to discrete mathematics, mathematical programming and computer science. In eight parts, various areas are treated, each starting with an elementary introduction to the area, with short, elegant proofs of the principal results, and each evolving to the more advanced methods and results, with full proofs of some of the deepest theorems in the area. Over 4000 references to further research are given, and historical surveys on the basic subjects are presented.
