From the reviews of the 2nd Edition:

„Provides a useful collection of the major techniques, results and references in combinatorial optimization for researchers and teachers in the field.“—

MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

„This book on combinatorial optimization is a beautiful example of the ideal textbook.“

Operations Resarch Letters 33 (2005), p.216-217

„The second edition (with corrections and many updates) of this very recommendable book documents the relevant knowledge on combinatorial optimization and records those problems and algorithms that define this discipline today. To read this is very stimulating for all the researchers, practitioners, and students interested in combinatorial optimization.“

OR News 19 (2003), p.42

From the reviews of the third edition:

„In the last years Korte and J. Vygen’s ‘Combinational Optimization. Theory and Algorithms’ has become a standard textbook in the field. 5 years after the first edition … the 3rd revised edition is available. … several proofs have been streamlined, the references have been updated and new exercises have been added. That makes this volume to one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date textbooks in the field of combinatorial optimization.“

Rainer E. Burkard, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1099 (1), 2007

„This volume is an encyclopedic reference and textbook on theory and algorithms in combinatorial optimization. … As befits a reference book, the references are very complete and up to date. … The book has separate topic and author indexes and a very useful glossary of notation. … The book … will appeal primarily to readers who want an advanced textbook that can also serve as a concise reference. … The current volume by Korte and Vygen is a worthy successor.“

It was more than a surprise to us that the first edition of this book already went out of print about a year after its first appearance. We were flattered by the many positive and even enthusiastic comments and letters from colleagues and the gen eral readership. Several of our colleagues helped us in finding typographical and other errors. In particular, we thank Ulrich Brenner, Andras Frank, Bernd Gartner and Rolf Mohring. Of course, all errors detected so far have been corrected in this second edition, and references have been updated. Moreover, the first preface had a flaw. We listed all individuals who helped us in preparing this book. But we forgot to mention the institutional support, for which we make amends here. It is evident that a book project which took seven years benefited from many different grants. We would like to mention explicitly the bilateral Hungarian German Research Project, sponsored by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, two Sonderforschungsbereiche (special re search units) of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the Ministere Franc; ais de la Recherche et de la Technologie and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for support via the Prix Alexandre de Humboldt, and the Commission of the Eu ropean Communities for participation in two projects DONET. Our most sincere thanks go to the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities and to the Northrhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences.
