Feedback ARC Set: A History of the Problem and Algorithms - Paperback

by Robert Kudelic (Author)

The main aim of the book is to give a review of all relevant information regarding a well-known and important problem of Feedback Arc Set (FAS). This review naturally also includes a history of the problem, as well as specific algorithms. To this point such a work does not exist: There are sources where one can find incomplete and perhaps untrustworthy information. With this book, information about FAS can be found easily in one place: formulation, description, theoretical background, applications, algorithms etc. Such a compendium will be of help to people involved in research, but also to people that want to quickly acquaint themselves with the problem and need reliable information. Thus research, professional work and learning can proceed in a more streamlined and faster way.

Author Biography

Robert Kudelic earned his PhD in combinatorial optimization and Feedback Arc Set (FAS), by designing a Monte Carlo randomized algorithm for FAS, the first such algorithm of its kind. An assistant professor, he has published for a number of high quality journals, is an editor of a scientific journal, and has received a dean's award for his scientific work. He has been dealing with FAS for some time, and this book was a consequence of that. His teaching experience and scientific work primarily deals with programming, algorithms and computational intelligence. He resides in Croatia.
