چکیده

The transshipment problem is one of the central problems in network optimization. There exist several polynomial and strongly polynomial algorithms for solving this problem (see the surveys [7, 1]). Nevertheless, the method of choice in practice still seems to be the network simplex method. In this paper we shall consider the dual network simplex method. We show that some excess scaling algorithms for the uncapacitated transshipnent problem can

Strongly polynomial primal monotonic build-up simplex algorithm for maximal flow problems

The maximum flow problem (MFP) is a fundamental model in operations research. The network simplex algorithm is one of the most efficient solution methods for MFP in practice. The theoretical properties of established pivot algorithms for MFP is less understood. Variants of the primal simplex and dual simplex methods for MFP have been proven strongly polynomial, but no similar result exists for ...

On Network Simplex Method Using the Primal-dual Symmetric Pivoting Rule

We consider a network simplex method using the primal-dual symmetric pivoting rule proposed by Chen, Pardalos, and Saunders. For minimum-cost network-flow problems, we prove global convergence of the algorithm and propose a new scheme in which the algorithm can start from an arbitrary pair of primal and dual feasible spanning trees. For shortest-path problems, we prove the strongly polynomial t...

On the number of solutions generated by the dual simplex method

In this short paper, we give an upper bound for the number of different basic feasible solutions generated by the dual simplex method with the most negative pivoting rule for LP. The bound is comparable with the bound given by Kitahara and Mizuno (2010) for the primal simplex method. We apply the result to the maximum flow problem and get a strong polynomial bound.

On the Computational Behavior of a Dual Network Exterior Point Simplex Algorithm for the Minimum Cost Network Flow Problem

The Minimum Cost Network Flow Problem (MCNFP) constitutes a wide category of network flow problems. A Dual Network Exterior Point Simplex Algorithm (DNEPSA) for the MCNFP is presented here, together with some computational results. Similarly to the classical Dual Network Simplex Algorithm (DNSA), the new algorithm starts with a dual feasible tree-solution and, after a number of iterations, it p...
