Organized by problem type, the book offers a rigorous treatment of complexity issues, models, algorithms, and applications. It opens with a historical perspective of the field and is followed by three sections that cover complexity and the Chinese Postman and the Rural Postman problems; the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem and routing problems with min-max and profit maximization objectives; and important applications, including meter reading, snow removal, and waste collection. The book will be of interest to practitioners, researchers, and graduate students in operations research, engineering, logistics, mathematics, and business.

The Congress on Differential Equations and Applications initiative arose from a group of mathematicians, mainly from applied mathematics and mathematical analysis, in order to promote research in Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, Mechanics, Control and Optimization. The first edition was held in 1978. The congress will feature the following plenary speakers: Henk Broer, Manuel Jesús Castro Díaz, Dietmar Hömberg, Karl Kunisch, José Antonio Lozano Alonso, Alfio Quarteroni, Tomas Sauer, María Elena Vázquez Cendón, and Luis Vega González. We invite scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and students (graduate and predoctorate) in all areas of applied mathematics to participate. There will be limited funding covering the inscription fee. Beside the invited plenary talks, there are two formats of participation: special sessions and contributed talks.
