This textbook thoroughly outlines combinatorial algorithms for generation, enumeration, and search. Topics include backtracking and heuristic search methods applied to various combinatorial structures, such as:CombinationsPermutationsGraphsDesignsMany classical areas are covered as well as new research topics not included in most existing texts, such as:Group algorithmsGraph isomorphismHill-climbingHeuristic search algorithmsThis work serves as an exceptional textbook for a modern course in combinatorial algorithms, providing a unified and focused collection of recent topics of interest in...
