Abstract

In this chapter we introduce two more combinatorial optimization problems, the MAXIMUM WEIGHT b -MATCHING PROBLEM in Section 12.1 and the MINIMUM WEIGHT T -JOIN PROBLEM in Section 12.2. Both can be regarded as generalizations of the MINIMUM WEIGHT PERFECT MATCHING PROBLEM and also include other important problems.
