摘要
We extend the list of linear programming problems that are known to be solvable in strongly polynomial time to include a class of LPs which contains special cases of the generalized transshipment problem. The result is facilitated by exploiting some special properties associated with Leontief substitution systems and observing that a feasible solution to the system, Ax = b, x greater-than-or-equal-to 0, in which no variable appears in more than two equations, can be found in strongly polynomial time for b belonging to some set-OMEGA.
