Title: Implementation and application of a nested decomposition algorithm

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7335540

A nested decomposition algorithm for multistage linear programs with the staircase structure is considered. Computational aspects of the algorithm essential to an efficient implementation are discussed. Experience with using experimental codes of the algorithm on problems arising from real applications, such as energy models, engineering design, and dynamic traffic control, is presented. It is observed that nested decomposition can be an efficient technique for large-scale systems.
