DESCRIPTION:
Now in a fully updated second edition, with new chapters covering flow theory, state-of-the-art search methods and GO/nonlinear programming, this unified treatment of optimization methods deals with all facets of the topic needed by students and practitioners.
Insightful reference book integrating mathematical programming and constraint programming Litsios James Unless you are deeply involved in optimization techniques, you may not have noticed subtle links between the methods of search, inference and relaxation. You may have combined two of these methods "as a trick" to achieve better performance, without noting "what exactly" you were doing. This books gives you an insight of why and how methods can be integrated. At a first level it presents a catalog of constraint patterns each "taken apart" in the context of a optimization method. But by doing so, this book achieves something deeper, it "integr

From the reviews of the second edition:“The book amply illustrates the power of combining the strengths of constraint programming, mathematical programming, global optimization, and heuristics by detailing these approaches, by articulating the commonalties among them, and by applying them to a wide range of optimization problems. I recommend the book without reservation.” (Marlin Thomas, ACM Computing Reviews, July, 2012). … this book covers the field both broadly and with sufficient granularity to provide working software engineers and graduate students with
