Abstract
Eaves and Zangwill [2] have developed a very general theory of the convergence of cutting plane algorithms. This theory is applied to prove the convergence of Geoffrion's Generalized Benders Decomposition procedure (GBD) [5]. Using the insight provided by the general theory, GBD is then modified to permit the deletion of old constraints without upsetting the infinite convergence property. Finally, certain approximations of GBD are presented and the robustness of the convergence results is indicated.
