A note on mixed procedures for decomposing linear programming problems
Børge Obel · Mathematische Operationsforschung und Statistik Series Optimization · 1978
This paper shows how to combine primal and dual decomposition procedures where both a vertical and a horizontal decomposition approach can be applied. The motivation for using a mixed procedure is that it improves the possibility of efficiently initializing the procedure, which has been shown to be crucial for the convergence of the procedures, Additionally mixed procedures have important interpretations as mixed price and budget planning procedures for decentralized organizations.
