Exact and Heuristic Methods in Combinatorial Optimization by Gerhard Reinelt

In the last decades, algorithmic advances as well as hardware and software improvements have provided an excellent environment to create and develop solving methods to hard optimization problems.
The book is well suited for readers who want to learn how to solve real world combinatorial optimization problems as the methods are well explained and a lot of algorithms are given with pseudo-codeThe authors explain all terms they use and the book is well understandable. All in all this book can be recommended to anyone interested in combinatorial optimization who wants to get an overview of the classical solution approaches in this field. (Isabel Beckenbach, zbMATH 1500.90001, 2023)
Abraham Duarte is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at the Rey Juan Carlos University(Madrid, Spain). He received his doctoral degree in Computer Sciences from the Rey Juan Carlos University. His research is devoted to the development of models and solution methods based on meta-heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems. He has published more than 50 papers in SCI-JCR prestigious scientific journals such us European Journal of Operational Research, INFORMS Journal on Computing, Computational Optimization and Applications, or Computers & Operations Research. Dr. Duarte has also published 11 papers in non-indexed journals, 20 book chapters and more than 70 papers in conference proceedings. He has been the principal investigator on 5 competitive research projects with a total budget of 200000 euros (aprox.), he has been the advisor of 5 doctoral theses, and he is co-inventor of a US patent (US 20100138373 A1). Dr Duarte is reviewer of the Journal of Heuristic, Journal of Mathematical Modeling and Algorithms, INFORMS Journal on Computing, Applied Soft Computing, European Journal of Operational Research and Soft Computing. He is also member of the program committee of the conferences MAEB, HIS, ISDA, SOCO or MHIPL.
Manuel Laguna is the MediaOne Professor of Management Science and Director of Global Initiatives at the Leeds School of Business of the University of Colorado Boulder. He started his academic career at the University of Colorado in 1990, after receiving master's (1987) and doctoral (1990) degrees in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.He has done extensive research in the interface between computer science, artificial intelligence and operations research, resulting in over one hundred publications, including four books. He has received research funding from private industry and government agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research and the Environmental Protection Agency. He is co-founder of OptTek Systems, a Boulder-based software and consulting company that provides optimization solutions. He is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Heuristics and has been Division Chair, Senior Associate Dean and Interim Dean at the Leeds School of Business.
