Abstract

Transportation problems have been the subject of extensive literature [4, 6–8, 10, 21, 26]. Whereas effective accurate methods have been developed for linear transportation problems, no general accurate optimization methods for nonlinear problems are available to this day. Optimization of (convex or concave) objective functions by means of convex programming is the most advanced field of nonlinear studies [1, 23–25]. Dynamic programming methods are also applicable under certain conditions [3, 9, 27]. Optimization may lead to good results when functional are approximated by piecewise linear functions [2, 20]. Minimax problems commonly arise in operations research [9, 19, 22].
