![Book cover: Iterative Methods in Combinatorial Optimization](images/7995.jpg)
by Lap Chi Lau, R. Ravi, M. Singh - Cambridge University Press , 2011
This book describes a simple method that is iterative in essence, and useful in a variety of settings for exact and approximate optimization. The authors highlight the commonality and uses of this method to prove a variety of classical results.
