An infeasible (exterior point) simplex algorithm for assignment problems. (English) Zbl 0734.90055

The author presents an exterior point simplex method for assignment problems. This method is based on infeasible paths: any two basic feasible solutions can be connected with short simplex paths passing through an infeasible region.
