18	41	We assume, w.l.o.g., that E(P) is not a subset of E(Q) (otherwise exchange P and Q).
32	4	Replace W_1 by v_1.
32	11	Replace v by v_1.
124	2	Replace $C=\{...\}$ by $C$. The rows of the matrix $A$ in the Hint are $a_1,...,a_t$.

137	14-15	During DELETEMIN, one should take only vertices $u$ with $\delta^-(u)=\emptyset$ into consideration.
186	26	Orlin [2013] found an $O(mn)$-time algorithm for the Maximum Flow Problem. Reference: Orlin, J.B. [2013]: Max flows in $O(nm)$ time, or better. Proceedings of the 45th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (2013), 765-774.
197	4-7	Kawarabayashi and Thorup [2015] showed how to determine the edge-connectivity of a given graph in $O(m\log^{12}n)$ time. Reference: Kawarabayashi, K., and Thorup, M.

204	13	Exercise 35 works only for simple graphs.
206	40	The correct page numbers of the paper by Cheung, Lau and Leung [2011] are 197-206.
245	27	The coordinates should be independent.
267	1	Replace k by n.
268	26-30	Exercise 26 does not work; it is not clear how to update $\varphi$ fast enough.
346	28	Condition (b) should be weakened (for the application in the following proof): we need c(xi)>c(yj) for i<j and c(xi)≥c(yj) for i>j.
347	26	Replace x_1,...,x_l by x_l,...,x_1 and y_0,...,y_{l-1} by y_{l-1},...,y_0.
362	30	The proof should begin with the following: Without loss of generality, $f(\emptyset) = g(\emptyset)$ and $f(E) = g(E)$.
369	14	Lee, Sidford and Wong [2015] found a strongly polynomial-time algorithm that minimizes a submodular function in $O(\gamma n^3 \log^2 n + n^4 \log^{O(1)} n)$ time.

372	13	c should be strictly positive in Exercise 8.

457	29-31	The paper by Singh and Lau appeared in the Journal of the ACM 62 (2015), Article 1.
475	3-9	Dósa and Sgall [2013] improved upper and lower bound of Theorem 18.6 to $\lfloor\frac{17}{10}OPT(I)\rfloor$. Reference: Dósa, G. and Sgall, J.: First fit bin packing: a tight analysis.

486	36-39	The full version of the paper by Dósa [2007] appeared as follows: Dósa, G., Li, R., Han, X., and Tuza, Z.: Tight absolute bound for First Fit Descreasing bin-packing: $\textsl{FFD}(L)\le 11/9\, \textsl{OPT}(L) + 6/9$. Theoretical Computer Science 510 (2013), 13--61
503	14	Replace $O(|E(H)|)$ by $O(\log |E(H)|)$.
519	4	The paper by Kawarabayashi, Kobayashi and Reed [2010] appeared in the Journal of Combinatorial Theory B 102 (2012), 424-435.
523	37-38,40	The definition of $q(U\cup\{x\},x)$ is not good, as Lemma 20.4(a) may not hold in general. To fix this, one can either require (w.l.o.g.) $c$ to be a metric or, easier, redefine $q$ as follows: $q(U\cup\{x\},x) := \min \{ c(E(S'))+c(E(S'')) : \emptyset \not= U'\subset U, S' is a Steiner tree for U'\cup\{x\} in G, S'' is a Steiner tree for (U\setminus U')\cup\{x\} in G \}$. Then (a) is trivial, and the proof of (b) is essentially unchanged.
526	30-32	The Steiner tree inapproximability bound was improved to 1.01 by Chlebík and Chlebíková [2008]. Reference: Chlebík, M., and Chlebíková, J.: The Steiner tree problem on graphs: Inapproximability results. Theoretical Computer Science 406 (2008), 207-214
529	15-20	The proof of the first statement is not entirely clear, but it actually shows the stronger statement that there exists a spanning tree $M$ in $G[S]$ with $\sum_{\{s,t\}\in E(M)} dist_{(Y,c')}(s,t) \le c(E(Y))-c(L)$.
549	30-31	Replace ≤ by ≥ and one δG(A) by δG(B) in both lines.
553	2	Replace 0 by ∅.
554	19-21	The paper by Byrka et al. [2010] appeared in the Journal of the ACM 60 (2013), Article 6, with the title: Steiner tree approximation via iterative randomized rounding.
556	6	The correct title of Kou's [1990] paper is "On efficient implementation of an approximation algorithm for the Steiner tree problem".
562	6-7	The TSP inapproximability bound was improved to 123/122 by Karpinski, Lampis and Schmied [2013]. Reference: Karpinski, M., Lampis, M., Schmied, R. [2013]: New inapproximability bounds for TSP. Algorithms and Computation; Proceedings of ISAAC 2013; LNCS 8283 (L. Cai, S.-W. Chen, T.-W. Lam, eds.), Springer, Berlin 2013, pp. 568-578
591	13-14	The paper by Fiorini et al. [2011] appeared in the Journal of the ACM 62 (2015), Article 17, entitled "Exponential lower bounds for polytopes in combinatorial optimization".
617	7	"element of" should be "subset of".
627	47-50	The paper by Li [2011] appeared in Information and Computation 222 (2013), 45-58.
