Data for a linear programming problem resembles the data for side constraints and nonarc variables supplied to PROC NETFLOW when solving a constrained network problem. It is also very similar to the ...

The compressibility of natural gas allows the use of line pack to compensate for fluctuations of gas demand. On the basis of forecast consumption, a linear-programming model can yield a plan for ...

Many linear programming problems have large embedded network structures. Such problems often result when modeling manufacturing processes, transportation or distribution networks, or resource ...
