Nested Pricing For the Simplex Algorithm: An Empirical Evaluation

Ping-Qi Pan (panpqseu.edu.cn)

Abstract: Nested pricing involves new rules for selecting columns to enter the basis in the simplex algorithm. We report extensive computational experiments, demonstrating their exceptional merit against major rules, including Dantzig's original rule, as well as the steepest-edge and Devex rules.
