Abstract
The multi-index transportation problem is defined and a summary of the algorithm described in an earlier paper is given. This paper discusses the theorems justifying the use of the algorithm and gives a necessary condition for the existence of a solution. It also describes the formulation of three special-structure linear-programming problems as examples of multi-index problems. The three problems discussed are the capacitated Hitchcock problem, transportation where there is more than one method of transport available, and the transformation of one type of multi-index problem into another. A final section describes problems that have restrictions in the form of inequalities.
