In a recent paper [Bowman, V. J., C. S. Colantoni. 1973. Majority rule under transitivity constraints. Management Sci. 19 (9, May) 1029-1041.] Bowman and Colantoni have described an optimization model which they relate to problems of majority voting in the theory of social choice. Their...

The paper presents a new approach to solving a class of combinatorial economic allocation problems. One member of this class is known as the quadratic assignment problem. Besides presenting an algorithm to solve this problem, we will discuss in general terms the techniques for treating...

This paper considers a class of algorithms for solving quadratic programming problems. An attempt is made to rank the various procedures. Computational results are given and a discussion of the results is presented.

New Directions in Computational Economics brings together for the first time a diverse selection of papers, sharing the underlying theme of application of computing technology as a tool for achieving solutions to realistic problems in computational economics and related areas in the...
