Combinatorics and Computer Science

This book presents a collection of 33 strictly refereed full papers on combinatorics and computer science; these papers have been selected from the 54 papers accepted for presentation at the joint 8th Franco-Japanese and 4th Franco-Chinese Conference on Combinatorics in Computer Science, CCS '96, held in Brest, France in July 1995.
The papers included in the book have been contributed by authors from 10 countries; they are organized in sections entitled graph theory, combinatorial optimization, selected topics, and parallel and distributed computing.
