“The presentation of the problems is accompanied by illustrating examples. The book contains both a great theoretical background and practical applications and is thus self-contained. It is useful for master and doctoral students, as well as for researchers and practitioners dealing with computer vision and image processing, but also working in mathematical optimization.” (Ruxandra Stoean, zbMATH 1362.68003, 2017)
