nonlinearinteger00mart.pdf (3.897Mb)Abstract
A nonlinear integer programming model for expanding the transportation
system of an underdeveloped country is presented. The model
uses integer 0-1 decision variables. The basic model has linear constraints
and a nonlinear objective function. Some special situations
and extensions to the model are presented. The benefits being maximized
in the objective function are discussed, as are the problems of parameterization
and suboptimization. A solution procedure for the model is
suggested, but an efficient algorithm is not available for solving the
model. Some areas for future research are also suggested.
