We prove the correctness of the procedure, and relate it to other pivoting rules for linear programming. OR professionals in every field of study will find information of interest in this balanced, ...

Moreover, a new, ratio-test-free pivoting rule is proposed, significantly reducing computational cost at each iteration. Our numerical experiments show that the method is very promising, at least for ...

Linear programming -- which is not related to computer programming -- and the Simplex Algorithm provide a means for solving complicated problems with many variables and are generally employed to ...
