Abstract | Erlenkotter developes a dual-base procedure for a specific mixed-integer programming problem, the so-called Simple Plant Location Problem (SPLP). The superiority of his procedure over the other algorithms for the SPLP is depicted by its much less computational times required to obtain an optimal solution. The main purpose of this study is to supplement the detail theoretical explanations that are omitted in the original paper, to make it easier to be understood. In this study, linear relaxation of the SPLP, condensing of the dual problem, contracting of dual and corresponding integer primal solutions, and justification of optimality of the solutions are explained sequentially. Besides the theoretical aspect, explanations are also given to the implementation of the associated computer program, such as computer input and output. |
