Applications of Simplicial Decomposition with Nonlinear Column Generation to Nonlinear Network Flows

  • Conference paper
Network Optimization

Abstract

The simplicial decomposition method for linearly constrained nonlinear programs has been proven to be efficient for certain classes of structured large-scale problems. This method alternates between a multi-dimensional search over a restriction of the feasible set and an augmentation of the restriction through the solution of a linear column generation problem. The quality of the columns generated may however be very poor, since the first-order approximation of the objective function is used globally.
