This book is the only source that provides comprehensive, current,
and correct information on problem solving using mode heuristics.
It covers classic methods of optimization, including dynamic
programming, the simplex method, and gradient techniques, as well
as recent innovations such as simulated annealing, tabu search, and
evolutionary computation. Integrated into the discourse is a series
of problems and puzzles to challenge the reader. The book is
written in a lively, engaging style and is intended for students
and practitioners alike. Anyone who reads and understands the
material in the book will be armed with the most powerful problem
solving tools currently known.

Издательство InTech, 2008, -212 pp. In the middle 1930s computer science was yet a not well defined academic discipline. Actually, fundamental concepts, such as ‘algorithm’, or ‘computational problem’, has been formalized just some year before. In these years the Austrian mathematician Karl Menger invited the research community to consider from a mathematical point of view the following problem taken from the every day life. A traveling salesma...
