Combinatorial Algorithms: Generation, Enumeration, and Search

This textbook thoroughly outlines combinatorial algorithms for generation, enumeration, and search. Topics include backtracking and heuristic search methods applied to various combinatorial structures, such as:

Combinations

Permutations

Graphs

Designs

Many classical areas are covered as well as new research topics not included in most existing texts, such as:

Group algorithms

Graph isomorphism

Hill-climbing

Heuristic search algorithms

This work serves as an exceptional textbook for a moder...
