Description
The problem of designing a cost-efficient network that
survives the failure of one or more nodes or edges of the
network is critical to modern telecommunications
engineering. The method developed in this book is designed
to solve such problems to optimality. In particular, a
cutting plane approach is described, based on polyhedral
combinatorics, that is ableto solve real-world problems of
this type in short computation time. These results are of
interest for practitioners in the area of communication
network design.
The book is addressed especially to the combinatorial
optimization community, but also to those who want to learn
polyhedral methods. In addition, interesting new research
problemsare formulated.
