Abstract
Transportation problems are investigated by replacing the classical transportation cost minimization functionals by minimax functionals. Transportation models with minimax criteria are described and optimization algorithms for them are designed. A formula for computing the minimax matrix (a matrix of the classical transportation polyhedron whose largest element is minimal) of the transportation polyhedron is derived. One of the algorithms generates a (hereditarily minimax) matrix such that every each of its submatrices is a minimax matrix of the transportation polyhedron to which the matrix belongs.
