    • Generalized Linear Programming Solves the Dual 

      Magnanti, Thomas L.; Shapiro, Jeremy F., 1939-; Wagner, Michael H. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1973-09)
      The generalized linear programming algorithm allows an arbitrary mathematical programming minimization problem to be analyzed as a sequence of linear programming approximations. Under fairly general assumptions, it is ...

    • Assumptions for a Market Share Theorem 

      Little, John D. C.; Bell, David E. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1973-05)
      Many marketing models use variants of the relationship: market share equals marketing effort divided by total marketing effort. Usually, share is defined within a customer group presumed to be reasonably homogeneous and ...

    • A Linear Approximation Approach to Duality in Nonlinear Programming 

      Magnanti, Thomas L. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1973-04)
      Linear approximation and linear programming duality theory are used as unifying tools to develop saddlepoint, Fenchel and local duality theory. Among results presented is a new and elementary proof of the necessity and ...
