DTMB UNIVAC TRANSPORTATION SIMPLEX.
Abstract
This report describes the methods and UNIVAC I routines developed to obtain initial solutions for Suzuki's Transportation Simplex Method (PB-128 850). The initial solutions considered are the column, row, and matrix minimal (or maximal) and the Northwest Passage solution. At present the m x n cost matrix is limited by m < or = 30 and m + n < or = 719. The starting routines developed serve two main purposes: (1) To obviate tedious hand calculations and data tape preparations, and (2) To reduce the machine time required to solve a complete transportation problem.
