Maintaining a Sparse Inverse in the Simplex Method

John A. Tomlin · IBM Journal of Research and Development · 1972

Improved methods are discussed for handling sparse matrices in practical linear programming. An analytical comparison is made of four methods for updating the inverse in the iterations following a reinversion. Of these, one technique using the elimination form of inverse is selected for some computational experiments and its advantages in terms of speed and sparseness demonstrated.
