The redundancy property doesnot apply. The duals are unique, and a system of simultaneous must be solved to identify them. equations The basis consists of a forest of quasi-trees, or graphs with a cycle (sometimes called one-trees). single Generalized Transportation Simplex Algorithm.

CSE 87 QM 72N Network Flows: Generalized Networks 8 Slide 5 Slide 6 Basis Structure ffl The basis of this class of problems is a forest of quasi-trees The graph of the basis looks like one or more trees, each an extra arc forming a cycle. with If a quasi-tree contains a slack arc, it behaves like a cycle. ffl Within a quasi-tree, arcs are viewed as either: on-loop if they form part or all of the cycle, or off-loop if they are in a subtree hanging from a node in the cycle. GT simplex requires traversal of the quasi-tree cycles in order The compute the unique values of the duals and the representation of to a non-basic arc.

Otherwise, select any node on the loop, say node. slack. 2. Temporarily set R =, and traverse the loop computing: ffl Temporary duals, using Ri + gijkj = cij. ffl The loop factor defined as the ratio: ffl R(), the recomputed value for R upon traversal of the loop. Compute the true R = R() ( R=F), and the other loop duals can. determined by traversing the loop again. be. Any off-loop duals may be computed via Ri + gijkj = cij. Computing Representations of Nonbasic Arcs ffl Consider increasing the flow on a nonbasic arc from to. The representation of this nonbasic variable corresponds to a ffl of changes in the basic arcs' flows that are needed to vector this flow increase while maintaining feasibility accommodate of flow at the nodes). (conservation Representations in pure networks are found by following ffl paths from each end of the incoming arc to the predecessor node, noting the changes required in the basic arcs intersection encountered. In generalized networks, the approach is the same, although ffl computation is required because of the multipliers and more the basis structure. CSE 87 QM 72N Network Flows: Generalized Networks 2 Slide 2 Slide 2 Computing Representation in GNs Determine the off-loop flow adjustments, since these can be. directly. Create vectors of flow reductions for the computed arcs, for example V and V2. This will usually result in basic supply" or demand" on a loop node. unallocated For each unallocated loop supply" or demand" solve the 2. equations associated with the loop to determine simultaneous flow changes on the loop arcs. Create vectors of flow the for the basic arcs in each case, as necessary, for reductions example V and V. Combine the results of the previous steps to form the. For example, ~ Aij = V + V2 + V + V. representation. now use the example in Figure and an associated basis shown We Figure to compute the representation of arc (,). in Figure : Generalized transportation problem R = Q g ij; for arcs traversed in the reverse" direction Q gij; for arcs traversed in the forward" direction F 2 8/9 / /2 x ij p ij 8 5
