Solving (RMP) is not challenging (and it shouldn’t be) because of the small
number of columns.
Column Generation Algorithm (cont.)
3. Pricing probem
• Optimal solution: 𝑥ҧ1 = 12.5, 𝑥ҧ6 = 100, 𝑥ҧ9 = 0, 𝑥ҧ10 = 0, 𝑥ҧ11 = 300
• Optimal basis:
Iteration 3: Pricing Problem
• Compute minimum reduced cost
Iteration 4: RMP
• Set of columns 𝐼 = 1,6,9,10,11,14
• Solve RMP
• Optimal solution: 𝑥ҧ1 = 12.5, 𝑥ҧ6 = 100, 𝑥ҧ9 = 𝑥ҧ10 = 𝑥ҧ11 = 0, 𝑥ҧ14 = 150
• Optimal basis:
Iteration 4: Pricing Problem
• Compute minimum reduced cost
