In this thesis. we have completed several theoreticai and implementation tasks. namely.<br />
1. developed the parailel decomposition algorithm for two-part models,<br />
2. proved the convergence <strong>of</strong> the rwo-part method as well as other useful properties.<br />
3. developed the parallel multi-part decomposition algorithm,<br />
4. proved several usefui properties <strong>of</strong> the multi-part method.<br />
5. developed a variant (heuristic) decomposition algorithm for multi-part models.<br />
6. modified SET in order to extnct the multi-pan structure h m GAMS.<br />
7. developed a s<strong>of</strong>tware for a pdlel primal-duai decomposition soiver using PVM and<br />
CPLEX.<br />
