Abstract

Two new algorithms for minimal cost flow problems in lower and upper bound capacitated flow networks and an ALGOL-procedure for one of them are given.

On the average both methods need less than half of the computing time of the Out-of-Kilter-algorithm.

Zusammenfassung

Zwei Algorithmen zur Bestimmung kostenminimaler Flüsse in Netzwerken mit unteren und oberen Kapazitätsbeschränkungen sowie ein ALGOL-Programm zu einem der Verfahren werden angegeben.

Beide Verfahren erfordern durchschnittlich weniger als die Hälfte der vom Out-of-Kilter-Algorithmus benötigten Rechenzeit.
