Graphs, networks and algorithms.

From the reviews: ".... The book is a first class textbook and seems to be indispensable for everybody who has to teach combinatorial optimization. It is very helpful for students, teachers, and researchers in this area. The author finds a striking synthesis of nice and interesting mathematical results and practical applications. ... the author pays much attention to the inclusion of well-chosen exercises. The reader does not remain helpless; solutions or at least hints are given in the appendix. Except for some small basic mathematical and algorithmic knowledge the book is self-contained. ..." (K.Engel, Mathematical Rezensions 2002) "This book has been a pleasure to read and review. Its title is brief and self-explanatory, and the book has been well-produced and designed for both reference and systematic use. .... Firstly, it is an extremely clear text; ... Secondly, the author is not ashamed to introduce practice and illustrations, so that this is not a "dry-as-dust" text in esoteric mathematics. Algorithms are presented in pseudocode, and their workings are thoroughly discussed. It is a comprehensive book. ... Therefore, if you have the slightest interest in the algorithms for graphs and networks, or in the theory of such models, then Jungnickel has produced a book that you ought to have available for reference."
