CRC, 2010. - 624 p. (Second Edition)

Incorporating a number of the author’s recent ideas and examples, Dynamic Programming: Foundations and Principles, Second Edition presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of dynamic programming. The author emphasizes the crucial role that modeling plays in understanding this area. He also shows how Dijkstra’s algorithm is an excellent example of a dynamic programming algorithm, despite the impression given by the computer science literature.

New to the Second Edition
- Expanded discussions of sequential decision models and the role of the state variable in modeling
- A new chapter on forward dynamic programming models
- A new chapter on the Push method that gives a dynamic programming perspective on Dijkstra’s algorithm for the shortest path problem
- A new appendix on the Corridor method

Taking into account recent developments in dynamic programming, this edition continues to provide a systematic, formal outline of Bellman’s approach to dynamic programming. It looks at dynamic programming as a problem-solving methodology, identifying its constituent components and explaining its theoretical basis for tackling problems.

Диссертация, Indiana University, 1994, -173 pp. Algorithm design paradigms are particularly useful for designing new and efficient algorithms. However, several sequential algorithm design paradigms seem to fail in the design of efficient parallel algori thms. This dissertation focuses on the dynamic programming paradigm, which unt il recently has only been used to design sequential algorithms. A graph structure is given that allows the efficient...

Издательство Dover Publications, 1998, -528 pp. During the fifteen years since Combinatorial Optimization first appeared, its authors have often discussed the possibility of a second edition. In some sense a second edition seemed very appropriate, even called for. Many exciting new results had appeared that would merit inclusion, while not quite so many and so exciting that the basic premises, style, and approach of the book would need to be rew...
