Comparison of Four Goal Programming Algorithms

A major limitation in the use of goal programming has been the lack of an efficient algorithm for model solution. Schniederjans and Kwak recently published a proposal for more efficient solution of goal programming models utilizing dual simplex procedures. A goal programming algorithm based upon that method has been coded, as well as a revised, simplex-based algorithm. These algorithms are compared in terms of accuracy and time requirements with algorithms previously presented by Lee and by Arthur and Ravindran. Solution times for a series of 12 goal programming models are presented. The dual simplex method appears to have superior computational times for models with a large proportion of positive deviational variables in the solution. The revised simplex algorithm appears more consistent in time and accuracy for general goal programming models.     

On Analyses of the Solution to a Linear Programming Problem

Many complex problem situations in various contexts have been represented in recent years by the linear programming model. The simplex method can then be used to give the optimal values of the variables corresponding to a given set of values of the parameters. However, in many situations it is useful to have the solution to many other related problems which differ from the original problem only in the values of some of the parameters. This paper presents procedures by which the solutions to the changed problems can be derived from the simplex solution tableau corresponding to the original problem. The method will be illustrated by means of an example problem, and it will be shown how quantitative information obtained from such analyses can aid management in decision making.     

An Algorithm for Solving the Linear Goal Programming Problem by Solving its Dual

Goal programming, and in particular lexicographic goal programming (i.e. goal programming within a so-called ‘pre-emptive priority’ structure or having non-Archimedean weights), has become one of the most widely used of the approaches for multi-objective mathematical programming. While also applicable to non-linear or integer models, most of the literature has considered the lexicographic linear goal-programming model and its solution via primal simplex-based methods. However, in many cases, enhanced efficiency (and significant additional flexibility) may be gained via an investigation of the dual of this problem. In this paper we consider an algorithm for solving such a dual and also indicate how it may be implemented on conventional (i.e. single objective) simplex software.     

Linear Programming with Special Ordered Sets

Concave objective functions which are both piecewise linear and separable are often encountered in a wide variety of management science problems. Provided the constraints are linear, problems of this kind are normally forced into a linear programming mould and solved using the simplex method. This paper takes another look at the associated linear programs and shows that they have special structural features which are not exploited by the simplex algorithm. It suggests that their variables can be divided into special ordered sets which can then be used to guide the pivoting strategies of the simplex algorithm with a resultant reduction in basis changes.     

Polynomial Algorithms for a Class of Discrete Minmax Linear Programming Problems

We consider the problem of obtaining integer solutions to a minmax linear programming problem. Although this general problem is NP-complete, it is shown that a restricted version of this problem can be solved in polynomial time. For this restricted class of problems two polynomial time algorithms are suggested, one of which is strongly polynomial whenever its continuous analogue and an associated linear programming problem can be solved by a strongly polynomial algorithm. Our algorithms can also be used to obtain integer solutions for the minmax transportation problem with an inequality budget constraint. The equality constrained version of this problem is shown to be NP-complete. We also provide some new insights into the solution procedures for the continuous minmax linear programming problem.     

Solving Bilevel Linear Programs Using Multiple Objective Linear Programming

We present an algorithm for solving bilevel linear programs that uses simplex pivots on an expanded tableau. The algorithm uses the relationship between multiple objective linear programs and bilevel linear programs along with results for minimizing a linear objective over the efficient set for a multiple objective problem. Results in multiple objective programming needed are presented. We report computational experience demonstrating that this approach is more effective than a standard branch-and-bound algorithm when the number of leader variables is small.     

An Algorithm for Approximate Multiparametric Linear Programming

Multiparametric programming considers optimization problems where the data are functions of a parameter vector and describes the optimal value and an optimizer as explicit functions of the parameters. In this paper, we consider a linear program where the right-hand side is an affine function of a parameter vector; we propose an algorithm for approximating its solution. Given a full-dimensional simplex in the parameter space and an optimizer for each simplex vertex, the algorithm formulates the linear interpolation of the given solutions as an explicit function of the parameters, giving a primal feasible approximation of an optimizer inside the simplex. If the resulting absolute error in the objective exceeds a prescribed tolerance, then the algorithm subdivides the simplex into smaller simplices where it applies recursively. We propose both a basic version and a refined version of the algorithm. The basic version is polynomial in the output size, provided a polynomial LP solver is used; the refined version may give a smaller output. A global error bound for the optimizer is derived and some computational tests are discussed.     

A Chance Constrained Approach to Fractional Programming with Random Numerator

This paper presents a chance constrained programming approach to the problem of maximizing the ratio of two linear functions of decision variables which are subject to linear inequality constraints. The coefficient parameters of the numerator of the objective function are assumed to be random variables with a known multivariate normal probability distribution. A deterministic equivalent of the stochastic linear fractional programming formulation has been obtained and a subsidiary convex program is given to solve the deterministic problem.
