Median Problem: Models
and Solution Methods
COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION
VOLUME 15
Through monographs and contributed works the objective of the series is to publish state of the
art expository research covering aU topics in lire field binatorial optimization. In addition, the series
will include books, which are suitable for graduate level courses puter science, engineering,
business, applied mathematics, and operations research.
Combinatorial (or discrete) optimization problems arise in various applications, including
work design, VLSI design, machine vision, airline crew scheduling, corporate
planning, compu'ter-aided design and manufactoriog, database query design, cellular telephone
frequency assignment, constraint directed reasoning, putational biology. The topics of
the books will plexity analysis and algorithm design (parallel and serial),
computational experiments and application in science and engineering.
