Summary

The paper describes experiences with the determination of all economically meaningful dual values of primal degenerate optima in linear programs. To accomplish this task, a hopefully small subset of the informative nodes of the negative optimum degeneracy graph has to be determined by dual simplex iterations. Several heuristics for determining the pivot rows of the postoptimal dualsimplex iterations are defined and compared experimentally. Furthermore, the relationship between the number of optimal bases and the number of computed bases is being investigated.

Zusammenfassung

Der Beitrag beschreibt Erfahrungen mit der Ermittlung aller ökonomisch relevanten Dualwerte eines linearen Programms in einem primal degenerierten Optimum. Dazu ist eine möglichst kleine Teilmenge der informativen Knoten des optimalen negativen Degenerationsgraphen mit Hilfe von Dualsimplexiterationen zu bestimmen. Verschiedene Heuristiken zur Bestimmung der Pivotzeilen der postoptimalen Dualsimplexiterationen werden definiert und experimentell verglichen. Ferner wird der Zusammenhang zwischen der Zahl der optimalen Basen und der zur Bestimmung der interessierenden Informationen aufzusuchenden Basen betrachtet.
