A Piecewise Linear Dual Phase-1 Algorithm for the Simplex Method

A dual phase-1 algorithm for the simplex method that handles all types of variables is presented. In each iteration it maximizes a piecewise linear function of dual infeasibilities in order to make the largest possible step towards dual feasibility with a selected outgoing variable. The algorithm can be viewed as a generalization of traditional phase-1 procedures. It is based on the multiple use of the expensively computed pivot row. By small amount of extra work per iteration, the progress it can make is equivalent to many iterations of the traditional method. While this is its most important feature, it possesses some additional favorable properties, namely, it can be efficient in coping with degeneracy and numerical difficulties. Both theoretical and computational issues are addressed. Some computational experience is also reported which shows that the potentials of the method can materialize on real world problems.     

Primal-Dual Simplex Method for Multiobjective Linear Programming

We develop a primal-dual simplex algorithm for multicriteria linear programming. It is based on the scalarization theorem of Pareto optimal solutions of multicriteria linear programs and the single objective primal-dual simplex algorithm. We illustrate the algorithm by an example, present some numerical results, give some further details on special cases and point out future research.

Finding all Solutions of Systems of Nonlinear Equations Using the Dual Simplex Method

An efficient algorithm is proposed for finding all solutions of nonlinear equations using linear programming (LP). This algorithm is based on a simple test (termed the LP test) for nonexistence of a solution to a system of nonlinear equations in a given region. In the conventional LP test, the system of nonlinear equations is transformed into an LP problem, to which the simplex method is applied. However, although the LP test is very powerful, it requires many pivotings for each region. In this paper, we use the dual simplex method in the LP test, which makes the average number of pivotings per region much smaller (less than one, for example) and makes the algorithm very efficient. By numerical examples, it is shown that the proposed algorithm can find all solutions of systems of 200 nonlinear equations in practical computation time.

On the Equivalence of the Simplex Methods and a Multiplier-Alike Method for Linear Programming

In linear programming, the simplex method has been viewed for a long time as an efficient tool. Interior methods have attracted a lot of attention since they were proposed recently. It seems plausible intuitively that there is no reason why a good linear programming algorithm should not be allowed to cross the boundary of the feasible region when necessary. However, such an algorithm is seldom studied. In this paper, we will develop first a framework of a multiplier-alike algorithm for linear programming which allows its trajectory to move across the boundary of the feasible region. Second, we illustrate that such a framework has the potential to perform as well as the simplex method by showing that these methods are equivalent in a well-defined sense, even though they look so different.     

Revised simplex algorithm for finite Markov decision processes

We introduce a revised simplex algorithm for solving a typical type of dynamic programming equation arising from a class of finite Markov decision processes. The algorithm also applies to several types of optimal control problems with diffusion models after discretization. It is based on the regular simplex algorithm, the duality concept in linear programming, and certain special features of the dynamic programming equation itself. Convergence is established for the new algorithm. The algorithm has favorable potential applicability when the number of actions is very large or even infinite.

A Simplex Approach for Finding Local Solutions of a Linear Bilevel Program by Equilibrium Points

In this paper, a linear bilevel programming problem (LBP) is considered. Local optimality conditions are derived. They are based on the notion of equilibrium point of an exact penalization for LBP. It is described how an equilibrium point can be obtained with the simplex method. It is shown that the information in the simplex tableaux can be used to get necessary and sufficient local optimality conditions for LBP. Based on these conditions, a simplex type algorithm is proposed, which attains a local solution of LBP by moving in equilibrium points. A numerical example illustrates how the algorithm works. Some computational results are reported.     

Revised dantzig-wolfe decomposition for staircase-structured linear programs

Staircase structured linear programs arise naturally in the study of engineering economic systems. One general approach to solving such LP's is the technique of nested decomposition of the primal or dual problem. The research described in this paper proposes a revised decomposition algorithm that incorporates knowledge of the structure of the staircase basis in forming the decomposed linear programs. Column proposals from the revised subproblems are shown to achieve maximum penetration against the master problem basis. The proposed algorithm resorts to the regular Dantzig-Wolfe subproblem to test for optimality. The algorithm is shown to be finite and is compared to the Abrahamson-Wittrock algorithm. Computational results indicate substantial improvement over the Dantzig-Wolfe algorithm in most cases. A numerical example of the algorithm is provide in the appendix. This research was supported by National Science Foundation grant ECS-8106455 to Cornell University.
