On Nonlinear Fractional Programming

Dinkelbach, Werner·1967·Management Science

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to delineate an algorithm for fractional programming with nonlinear as well as linear terms in the numerator and denominator. The algorithm presented is based on a theorem by Jagannathan (Jagannathan, R. 1966. On some properties of programming problems in parametric form pertaining to fractional programming. Management Sci. 12 609–615.) concerning the relationship between fractional and parametric programming. This theorem is restated and proved in a somewhat simpler way. Finally, it is shown how the given algorithm can be related to the method of Isbell and Marlow (Isbell, J. R., W. H. Marlow. 1956. Attrition games. Naval Res. Logist. Quart. 3 71–93.) for linear fractional programming and to the quadratic parametric approach by Ritter (Ritter, K. 1962. Ein Verfahren zur Lösung parameterabhängiger, nichtlinearer Maximum- Probleme. Unternehmensforschung, Band 6, S. 149–166.). The Appendix contains a numerical example.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
