dc.description.abstract |
The problem of "balancing" a matrix is not new, but there have been many changes
in the methods used to find a balanced matrix. This paper will introduce several different
methods and present the various algorithms using a uniform notation. The algorithms will
be derived, detailed, and finally applied to the same sample problem in order to compare
the results. Although the first three algorithms are undoubtedly faster, the Modified
Transportation Model offers more flexibility. It returns a fmal matrix that is often in a
more usable form, in light of the various applications.
The software package "EXCEL" by Microsoft was chosen for testing these methods
for a variety of reasons. Although code is readily available for similar algorithms in various
programming languages, the applications of matrix balancing problems are seldom taken
into consideration; these applications are in the fields of business and industry, where this
particular software is already being used and is easy to access. |
