These topics also deal with fundamental notions and approaches as with several classical applications of combinatorial optimization.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eConcepts of Combinatorial Optimization\u003c\/i\u003e, is divided into three parts:\u003cbr\u003e - On the complexity of combinatorial optimization problems, presenting basics about worst-case and randomized complexity;\u003cbr\u003e - Classical solution methods, presenting the two most-known methods for solving hard combinatorial optimization problems, that are Branch-and-Bound and Dynamic Programming;\u003cbr\u003e - Elements from mathematical programming, presenting fundamentals from mathematical programming based methods that are in the heart of Operations Research since the origins of this field.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eVangelis T.
