About this title

Synopsis

This book develops geometric techniques for proving the polynomial time solvability of problems in convexity theory, geometry, and, in particular, combinatorial optimization. The book is a continuation and extension of previous research of the authors for which they received the Fulkerson prize, awarded by the Mathematical Programming Society and the American Mathematical Society. To quote from a review: "This book ... is doubtless one of the outstanding books in discrete mathematics at all." (Journal of Information Proceedings and Cybernetics).
