Add to basketDruck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book offers as exploration into the emerging field of Inverse Combinatorial Optimization Problems (ICOPs), a transformative area within operations research. As traditional optimization focuses on maximizing or minimizing objectives under constraints, ICOPs reverse this process, allowing for the inference of hidden parameters from observed outcomes. This monograph provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and applying ICOPs across various domains.Key concepts such as inverse shortest path, spanning tree, and center location problems are meticulously examined, offering theoretical insights and algorithmic solutions. The authors present a structured approach to these complex problems, making this work an essential resource for both academic and practical applications. By addressing critical questions and providing algorithmic tools, this book is a must-read for those seeking to enhance network design, logistics, and strategic planning.Researchers, academics, and practitioners in operations research and management science will find this monograph invaluable. It not only contributes to academic discourse but also equips professionals with the knowledge to tackle real-world challenges. This book is a vital addition to any library supporting advanced studies in optimization and decision-making processes.

Xiucui Guan obtained her Ph.D. at City University of Hong Kong on 2005 majoring in combinatorial optimization. After graduation, she worked as a lecturer from May 2005 to April 2007 and an associate professor from May 2007 to April 2018 at School of Mathematics, Southeast University, China. She has been employed as a professor of School of Mathematics since May 2018. I had visited Prof. Panos M. Pardalos at Center for Applied Optimization, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Florida for one year since February 2013.
Her research interest includes discrete optimization, inverse combinatorial optimization, linear programming, algorithm design and analysis, etc. She has published more than 40 papers on combinatorial optimization, including more than 20 SCI indexed papers. I have been supported by 6 projects and 3 of them were supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China. I have cultivated 17 graduate students to obtain their masters’ degree at Mathematics and 3 Ph.D. students.
I mainly study on Inverse Combinatorial Optimization Problems (ICOP) including inverse linear programming problems, inverse minimum/max+sum spanning tree problems, inverse center/median location problems, shortest path improvement/interdiction problems, etc. We built mathematical models for these ICOPs, analyzed their properties and designed efficient algorithms to solve them. There are many applications of ICOPs in the field of transportation networks, communication networks, geophysical sciences, electricity markets, medical decision-making areas, etc. Researches on the ICOPs can help solve their corresponding problems in applications.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
We ship your order after we received them
for articles on hand latest 24 hours,
for articles with overnight supply latest 48 hours.
In case we need to order an article from our supplier our dispatch time depends on the reception date of the articles, but the articles will be shipped on the same day.
Our goal is to send the ordered articles in the fastest, but also most efficient and secure way to our customers.
