Abstract

Recently, a linear programming problem solver, called dual projective simplex method, was proposed (Pan, Computers and Mathematics with Applications, vol. 35, no. 6, pp. 119–135, 1998). This algorithm requires a crash procedure to provide an initial (normal or deficient) basis. In this paper, it is recast in a more compact form so that it can get itself started from scratch with any dual (basic or nonbasic) feasible solution. A new dual Phase-1 approach for producing such a solution is proposed. Reported are also computational results obtained with a set of standard NETLIB problems.
