Summary
In this paper we discuss some applications of Gass & Saaty’s parametric programming procedure (GSP3). This underutilized procedure is relevant to solution strategies for many problem types but is often not considered as a viable alternate approach. By demonstrating the utility of this procedure, we hope to attract other researchers to explore the use of GSP 3 as a solution approach for important problems in operations research, computer science, information systems, and other areas.
