DECOMPOSITION OF LINEAR PROGRAMS BY DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING
Abstract
The decomposition principle of Dantzig and Wolfe (Operations Research, 8:101-111 (1960)) is a method for breaking large linear programs with a block diagonal structure into a set of smaller subprograms. As alternative decomposition scheme derived from a dynamic programming approach is proposed here. This results in a series of parametric linear subprograms whose recursive solution yields the solution to the original linear program.
