Abstract

Many problems in supply chain optimization concern the minimization of a differentiable convex objective function subject to a set of linear constraints. The aim of this work is to present a number of such problems and to propose an efficient method for their solution. The proposed method is based on improvements of the well known Frank–Wolfe algorithm. The computational results of the proposed algorithm demonstrate its effectiveness and efficiency.
