Presents, perhaps for the first time, the theory of compact extended ILP models in the most general and didactic form possibleProvides a compact yet comprehensive introduction into exponential-size integer linear programming modelsIncludes a wealth of examples from various application areasSome chapters are self-contained and can be used as short tutorials to the corresponding topics   "This book is dedicated to presenting and applying the methods of compact extended formulations of linear optimization problems and polyhedra. ? The main merit of this book is that it presents in a unified way the state of the art in the matter in discussion. ? I consider the book to be a useful contribution to the literature on applications of (combinatorial) linear optimization problems ? ." (Sorin-Mihai Grad, zbMATH 1390.90004, 2018)
