Effichcius for FP<br />

Figure 5.8 Efficiencies for FP with Simplex and Barrier<br />

In some large problems. the parallel primai-dual decomposition showed some<br />

encouragng test results. however much more testing and development as well as efficient coding<br />

schemes are needed.<br />

For the heuristic metho& experiments were done at the very early stage <strong>of</strong> this research.<br />

and we have only the records <strong>of</strong> TEP and NAEP test ~sults. The tests were done with seved<br />

different data sets and they showed that the heuristic algorithm did not always converge to an<br />

optimal solution <strong>of</strong> the original pmblem. When it did not converge, it repeated the sarne upper<br />

bounds and lower bounds <strong>of</strong> the orignal problem for three consecutive iteraaons and the ddity<br />

cap =as between 0.5 5% and 9 % in those test problems.<br />
