Solving the Generalized Transportation Problem

Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: This paper advocates a mathematical programming approach for solving the classical transportation problem generalized to include nonlinear demand and supply functions and nonlinear transport costs. This approach is possible with a powerful optimizing system called MINOS. Primal and dual program formulations are set out in the paper, and brief computational experience with the software system in solving several illustrative problems is recorded.
