Phase Transitions in Combinatorial Optimization Problems

Basics, Algorithms and Statistical Mechanics

Beschreibung

This well-balanced treatise gives a concise, comprehensive introduction to statistical physics. Theoretical concepts and algorithms from computer science combined with analytical methods from physics bridge the gap between statistical physics and combinatorial optimization. The investigation of problems of theoretical computing introduces the concepts and methods of theoretical physics. A thorough presentation of the necessary basics allows graduates, post-docs, and researchers to easily follow complex, rapid developments and analytical methods.
