Abstract

The paper concerns some algorithms for solving extreme point mathematical programming problem formulated in [4]. The algorithms discussed consist in determining lower and upper bounds of the objective function and accomplishing the search for the optimal solution. The direction of search depends upon the choice of the starting point. It can be either lower or upper bound. Algorithms making use of the two possible search direction are discussed in detail. In order to illustrate the application of these algorithms, two numerical examples are solved. Some other algorithms based on different approaches are also briefly discussed.
