Iterative methods in combinatorial optimization / Lap Chi Lau, R. Ravi, Mohit Singh.

"With the advent of approximation algorithms for NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, several techniques from exact optimization such as the primal-dual method have proven their staying power and versatility. This book describes a simple and powerful method that is iterative in essence,...
