Sommario/riassunto |

According to the author, there is an alarming inclination for people to succumb to delusional thinking. Contrary to popular opinion, such thought processes are not limited to the mentally ill. Instead, there is growing evidence to show that large segments of the public harbor a wide variety of delusions, none of which are innocent, and many of which are pushing our societies to the brink of war. This book aims to understand the nature of delusions and how they are generated. By providing a deeper understanding of delusions, the author challenges the assumption that a whole community cannot be |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 20th International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms, held in June/July 2009 in the castle of Hradec nad Moravicí, Czech Republic. The 41 papers included in this volume together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from over 100 submissions. The topics dealt with are algorithms and data structures, applications, combinatorial enumeration, combinatorial optimization, complexity theory, computational biology, databases, decompositions and combinatorial designs, discrete and computational geometry, including graph drawing, and graph theory and combinatorics. |
