Combinatorial optimization. Packing and covering

From MaRDI portal





This nice survey presents new and elegant proofs of classical results for the integer programming models known as set packing and covering. There are min-max, polyhedral, exclude minor, and decomposition results. We give the headings of the 10 chapters: 1. Clutters, 2. \(T\)-Cuts and \(T\)-Joins, 3. Perfect Graphs and Matrices, 4. Ideal Matrices, 5. Odd Cycles in Graphs, 6. \(0,\pm 1\) Matrices and Integral Polyhedra, 7. Signing 0,1 Matrices to Be Totally Unimodular or Balanced, 8. Decomposition by \(k\)-Sum, 9. Decomposition of Balanced Matrices, 10. Decomposition of Perfect Graphs. For each of 18 conjectures, stated in the book, the author offers \$ 5000 for the first paper solving or refuting it.
