Yet most such problems are NP-hard; unless P = NP, there are no efficient algorithms to find optimal solutions. This book shows how to design approximation algorithms: efficient algorithms that find ...
It has been one of the driving forces in combinatorial optimization. The design and analysis of better and better approximation algorithms for the TSP has proved challenging but very fruitful. This is ...

In the book, she intersperses its voice with her own, like pieces of found poems. Silva’s algorithm is less refined than today’s models, and so its language is stranger and more prone to ...
In Japan, where many conventional bookstores have closed, a new business model sees people rent shelves in a store to sell ...
