Boolean Models and Methods in Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering | by Yves Crama | Peter L. Hammer | Crama Yves | ‎ Cambridge University Press | ‎ English | ‎ 1st Edition

Product description Review ' … is likely to become the reference book for applications of Boolean functions. A common effort of twenty two authors and two editors, leading experts in their fields, the monograph, over 700 pages long, covers all important topics and presents state-of-the-art of applications of Boolean functions. This well written volume can be useful to graduate students, researchers in discrete mathematics, computer science, or other fields, as well as practitioners of operations research and combinatorial optimization. Also readers like me, who want to learn more about Boolean functions, will find this volume very informative.' Marcin Kaminski, SIGACT News Book Description A collection of papers written by prominent experts that examine a variety of advanced topics related to Boolean functions and expressions. About the Author Dr Yves Crama is Professor of Operations Research and Production Management and the former Director General of the HEC Management School of the University of Liège, Belgium. He is widely recognized as a prominent expert in the field of Boolean functions, combinatorial optimization, and operations research, and he has coauthored more than 70 papers on these subjects. Dr Crama is a member of the Editorial Board of Discrete Optimization, Journal of Scheduling, and 4OR – The Quarterly Journal of the Belgian, French and Italian Operations Research Societies.The late Peter L. Hammer (1936–2006) was a Professor of Operations Research, Mathematics, Computer Science, Management Science, and Information Systems at Rutgers University and the Director of the Rutgers University Center for Operations Research (RUTCOR). He was the founder and editor-in-chief of the journals Annals of Operations Research, Discrete Mathematics, Discrete Applied Mathematics, Discrete Optimization, and Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics. Dr Hammer was the initiator of numerous pioneering investigations of the use of Boolean functions in operations research and related areas, of the theory of pseudo-Boolean functions, and of the logical analysis of data. He has published more than 240 papers and 19 books on these topics. Read more
