COMMENTS ON 'SOLUTION OF THE QUOTA PROBLEM BY A SUCCESSIVE-REDUCTION METHOD"

Abstract

It is pointed out that the 'Quota Problem' as described by D.F. votaw, Jr., in JORSA, Vol. 6, No. 1, can be looked upon as a special kind of maximum flow problem. As such it can be solved more efficiently by the methods of Ford and Fulkerson than by the reduction method proposed by Votaw.
