The paper presents a method for solving the linear programming problems, which is itself a step towards the generalization of the classical Simlex Method. It replaces two basic variables by two ...

The death of mathematician George Dantzig is a scientific watershed. Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large organizations.

The transportation method of linear programming is extended to a more general class of problem, for which the "stepping-stone method" of Charnes and Cooper fails. The method is applicable to various ...
