the second subproblem to make a cut and the pnmal solutions <strong>of</strong> the second<br />

subproblem are passed to the fint subproblern as the proposal information.<br />

5. The new aigorithm approximates the objective function value by issuing<br />

monotonicaily improved lower bounds and upper bounds by the first subproblem and<br />

second subproblem. respectively during the iterations.<br />

6. This algorithm performs the convergence test by refemng to both subproblems<br />

simultaneously and converges to a given tolerance in a finite number <strong>of</strong> steps.<br />

-<br />

7. If, in the upper bounding subproblern. spf. al1 cuts except the most ment are<br />

eli minated, then the algori thm reduces to the familiar Dantzig- Wolfe decomposition<br />

algori thm.<br />

8. K. in the lower bounding subproblern. SP:, - the weight on the most recent proposd is<br />

required to equal 1 (and the other weights are zero). then the algorithm reduces to the<br />

fmi liv Benders decomposition algorithm.<br />

9. The panllel decomposition algorithm cm be extended to more than two part<br />

problems. Chapter 4 discusses a padlel algorithm for the multi-part problems.
