About The Book

Discrete Optimization by Maciej M. Syslo is an essential resource for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in the field of optimization. This comprehensive text addresses the growing need for books that not only cover the theoretical aspects of discrete optimization but also provide practical, ready-to-use computer programs. With its detailed look at the derivation and performance characteristics of algorithms, this book bridges the gap between theory and real-world applications.

The text covers a wide range of topics, including linear and integer programming, packing and covering, optimization on networks, and coloring and scheduling. Each of these areas is illustrated with 26 programs that implement the most commonly used algorithms, offering readers hands-on experience. Designed for students familiar with the design, analysis, and use of computer algorithms, as well as those proficient in Pascal programming, this book is ideal for discrete optimization courses or as a software handbook.

Each chapter is self-contained, allowing readers to explore topics at their own pace, making it a flexible and valuable reference for students and professionals alike.
