“This book introduces and discusses a number of recent developments on connectivity of communication networks ranging from connectivity of large static networks and highly dynamic networks to connectivity of small- to medium-sized networks. ... The book is mainly addressed to professionals and researchers dealing with the design and analysis of communication networks; it could also be used for graduate courses in the same field.” (Christina Diakaki, zbMATH 1375.90003, 2018)
