    DIMACS - Series in Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science
    Volume: 491999; 389 pp
    MSC: Primary 05; 06; 11; 60; 68; 92

    Discrete mathematics stands among the leading disciplines of mathematics and theoretical computer science. This is due primarily to its increasing role in university curricula and its growing importance in applications ranging from optimization to molecular biology. An inaugural conference was held cooperatively by DIMATIA and DIMACS to focus on the versatility, width, and depth of current progress in the subject area.

    This volume offers a well-balanced blend of research and survey papers reflecting the exciting, attractive topics in contemporary discrete mathematics. Discussed in the book are topics such as graph theory, partially ordered sets, geometrical Ramsey theory, computational complexity issues and applications.

    Co-published with the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science beginning with Volume 8. Volumes 1–7 were co-published with the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM).

    Readership

    Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science and applications; operations research scientists and computer scientists.
