The purpose of this article is to suggest and demonstrate a procedure for testing economy wide linear programming models.The suggested procedure applies the linear programming model to an historical ...

This paper describes some rules for combining component models into complete linear programs. The objective is to lay the foundations for systems that give users flexibility in designing new models ...

The book also addresses linear programming duality theory and its use in algorithm design as well as the Dual Simplex Method, Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, and a primal-dual interior point algorithm.

George B. Dantzig, the mathematician who invented the field of linear programming, which revolutionized the way government and private enterprise planned, scheduled and generally conducted their ...

A more general approach is to format the problem as a standard linear programming model. That approach enables one to use the more general version of an LP package to solve a transportation problem.
