A branch and bound algorithm to globally solve the sum of several linear ratios. (English) Zbl 1079.65071

The authors develop a branch and bound globally convergent algorithm for optimizing the sum of several linear fractional functions over a polytope by solving a series of linear programming problems. Some numerical results are presented.
