Handbook of Combinatorics

Combinatorics research, the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of discrete, usually finite, structures, covers a wide range of problems not only in mathematics but also in the biological sciences, engineering, and computer science. The Handbook of Combinatoricsbrings together almost every aspect of this enormous field and is destined to become a classic. Ronald L. Graham, Martin Gr'hel, and LݳºlÓ Œ¯vݳº, three of the world's leading combinatorialists, have compiled a selection of articles that cover combinatorics in graph theory, theoretical computer science, optimization, and convexity theory, plus applications in operations research, electrical engineering, statistical mechanics, chemistry, molecular biology, pure mathematics, and computer science. The 20 articles in Volume 1 deal with structures while the 24 articles in Volume 2 focus on aspects, tools, applications, and horizons.Graham, Ronald L. is the author of 'Handbook of Combinatorics' with ISBN 9780262571722 and ISBN 0262571722.
