Generalized network design problems : modeling and optimization

Abstract

Generalized network design is a very hot topic of research. The monograph describes in a unified manner a series of mathematical models, methods, propositions, and algorithms developed in the last years on generalized network design problems. The book consists of seven chapters, where in addition to an introductory chapter, a number of six generalized network design problems are formulated and examined. The book will be useful for researchers and graduate students interested in operations research, optimization, applied mathematics, and computer science. Due to the substantial practical importance of some presented problems, researchers in other areas will also find it useful.
