Graph algorithms are easy to visualize and indeed there already exists a variety of packages to animate the dynamics when solving problems from graph theory. Still it can be difficult to understand the ideas behind the algorithm from the dynamic display alone.
CATBox consists of a software system for animating graph algorithms and a course book which we developed simultaneously. The software system presents both the algorithm and the graph and puts the user always in control of the actual code that is executed. In the course book, intended for readers at advanced undergraduate or graduate level, computer exercises and examples replace the usual static pictures of algorithm dynamics.
For this volume we have chosen solely algorithms for classical problems from combinatorial optimization, such as minimum spanning trees, shortest paths, maximum flows, minimum cost flows, weighted and unweighted matchings both for bipartite and non-bipartite graphs.

From the book reviews:
"We warmly recommend the book for those who teach an undergraduate or graduate course on discrete optimization for students who are not theory driven or just want to see the algorithms taught in action." (Péter Hajnal, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum (Szeged), Vol. 77 (3-4), 2011)
"Intend to provide both mathematical rigor as well as an interactive tool to assist the learning process. . The text is proposed for use at the graduate or advanced undergraduate levels. . theory and practice come together admirably. . CATBox is an excellent tool for learning the presented algorithms and concepts. . Students . in both computer science and the methods of mathematical proof would be well-served by this text." (Keith Sinkhorn, The Mathematical Association of America, October, 2010)
"This book is devoted to algorithms which solve some classical problems from discrete optimization. . The authors . attempt to make accessible a number of topics that are not often found in textbooks. . The organization and presentation of the materials of the book makes it possible to use it both for readers at advanced undergraduate or graduate level and as a reference book. It is a very valuable book for successful application of real life problems from discrete optimization. I certainly recommend buying it." (Samir Kumar Neogy, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1190, 2010)

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
