We propose and test a new pricing procedure for solving large-scale structured linear programs. The procedure interactively solves a relaxed subproblem to identify potential entering basic columns. The subproblem is chosen to exploit special structure, rendering it easy to solve. The effect of...

A complete, unified description is given of the design, implementation and use of a family of very fast and efficient large-scale minimum-cost (primal simplex) network programs. The class of capacitated generalized transshipment problems solved includes the capacitated and uncapacitated...

A dynamic factorization algorithm is developed which uses a partition of the basis to permit the simplex method to be executed from a small working inverse and a small, sparse triangular submatrix of the basis. This partition is maintained dynamically using spike swapping in a way which seeks to...
