Abstract

Network optimization problems are considered. Their statements include numerous variables and equipments. Decomposition methods are used for their solution. In specific situations, intermediate problems solved by the algorithms have the form of the knapsack problem. In the case when the constraints have a staircase structure, an efficient algorithm can be constructed. The procedure for the sequential recalculation of the coefficients of the objective function in this algorithm can be applied to other problems with unimodular matrices, in particular, to various transportation problems.
