Abstract: We discuss methods for speeding up convergence of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm for solving nonlinear convex programs. Models involving hydraulic networks, road networks and factory-warehouse networks are described. The PARTAN technique and heuristic variations of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm are described which serve to significantly improve the convergence rate with no significant increase in memory requirements. Computational results for large-scale models are reported.
