Abstract
The NP-complete problem of determining whether two disjoint point sets in then-dimensional real spaceRn can be separated by two planes is cast as a bilinear program, that is minimizing the scalar product of two linear functions on a polyhedral set. The bilinear program, which has a vertex solution, is processed by an iterative linear programming algorithm that terminates in a finite number of steps a point satisfying a necessary optimality condition or at a global minimum. Encouraging computational experience on a number of test problems is reported.
