ABSTRACT

Based on recent convergence results for the affine scaling algorithm for linear programming, we investigate strategies to identify the optimal face of a minimum cost network flow problem.  In the computational experiments described, one of the proposed optimality indicators is used to implement an early stopping criterion in DLNET an implementation of the dual affine scaling algorithm for solving minimum cost network flow problems.  We conclude from the experiments that the new indicator is far more robust than the one used in earlier versions of DLNET.
