Graphs and Combinatorial Optimization: From Theory to Applications: Ctw 2023, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, June 20-22: 13 (Airo Springer Series, 13) [Hardcover] [Feb 23, 2024] Brieden, Andreas; Pickl, Stefan and Siegle, Markus

This book contains the proceedings of the 19th Cologne-Twente Workshop on Graphs and Combinatorial Optimization, held during June 20-22, 2023, in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. This successful series of international workshops is known to attract high-quality research on the theory and application of discrete algorithms, graphs, and combinatorial optimization in a wide sense. The papers collected in this book represent cutting-edge research by leading researchers and attract a broad readership in academia worldwide. The book is addressed to researchers and advanced students, but also to professionals in industry concerned with algorithm design and optimization problems in different areas of application.

Andreas Brieden is professor for "Statistics and Risk Management" in the
