Pedigree Polytopes Av Arthanari Tirukkattuppalli Subramanyam Arthanari

<p>This book defines and studies a combinatorial object called the pedigree and develops the theory for optimising a linear function over the convex hull of pedigrees (the Pedigree polytope). A strongly polynomial algorithm implementing the framework given in the book for checking membership in the pedigree polytope is a major contribution.</p><p>This book challenges the popularly held belief in computer science that a problem included in the <i>NP-complete</i> class may not have a polynomial algorithm to solve. By showing <i>STSP</i> has a polynomial algorithm, this book settles the <i>P</i> vs <i>NP</i> question.</p><p>This book has illustrative examples, figures, and easily accessible proofs for showing this unexpected result. This book introduces novel constructions and ideas previously not used in the literature. Another interesting feature of this book is it uses basic max-flow and linear multicommodity flow algorithms and concepts in these
