摘要: This chapter provides an introduction to the mathematical techniques used provide insight and decision support in design operaton of communication networks. Techniques discussed include graph-theoretical concepts, (integer) linear programming, complexity theory. To illustrate importance these techniques, classical applications area networks are discussed. The wide variety depth mathematics involved does not allow exposition highlighting all details. References for further reading provided. is closed with a brief description consecutive chapters.
