Nonlinear Combinatorial Optimization: A Comprehensive Guide for Solving Complex Problems

Nonlinear combinatorial optimization (NCO) is a branch of optimization that deals with the minimization or maximization of a nonlinear objective function subject to a set of combinatorial constraints. NCO problems arise in a wide variety of real-world applications, including scheduling, routing, network design, and portfolio optimization.

Springer Optimization And Its Applications: Nonlinear Combinatorial Optimization provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art methods and techniques for solving NCO problems. Written by leading experts in the field, this book covers a wide range of topics, including:
