Yet, it has been during the last fifty years or sowith the rise of the electronic computersthat Graph theory hasbecome an indispensable discipline in terms of the numbe r and importance of its applications across the Applied Sciences. Graph theory has been especially central to Theoretical and Algorithmic Computer Science, and Automatic Control,Systems Optimization, Economy and Operations Research, Data Analysis in the E ngineering Sciences. Close connections between graphs and algebraic structures have been widely used in the analysis and implementation of efficientalgorithms for many problems, for example: transportation network optimization, telecommunication network o ptimization and planning, optimization in scheduling and production systems, etc. The primary objectives of GRAPHS, DIODS ANDSEMIRINGS: New Models and Algorithms are to emphasize the deep relations existing between the semiring and diod structures with gr aphs and their combinatorial properties, while demonstrating the modeling and problem-solvingcapability and flexibility of these structures. In addition the book provides an extensive overview of the mathematical properties employed by nonclassical algebr aic structures, which either extend usual algebra (i.e., semirings),or correspond to a new branch of algebra (i.e., diods), apart from the classical structures of groups, rings, and fields Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Pre Semirings, Semirings and Dioids Combinatorial Properties of (Pre) Semirings Topology on Ordered Sets: Topological Dioids Solving Linear Systems in Dioids Linear Dependence and Independence in Semi Modules and Moduloids Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of Endomorphisms Dioids and Nonlinear Analysis Collected Examples of Monoids, (Pre) Semirings and Dioids ISBN: 9780387754505 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces, 1387-666X : v41 Series: Mathematics and Statistics (Springer-11649) Keywords: Mathematics , Computer network architectures , Computational complexity , Combinatorics , Operations research Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.
