Reviews
From the book reviews: The authors deliver a comprehensive presentation of integer programming. Everything is presented in a rigorous way, but on the other hand, the form makes it easy to understand for everyone. Each chapter is followed by the exercises, that allow to recall the contents. the book is an essential text in the field of integer programing, that should be recommended as a very useful textbook for students, but also a valuable introduction for the researchers in this area. (Marcin Anholcer, zbMATH 1307.90001, 2015)
