    Implementation Of The Extended Dantzig — Wolfe Method
    (Neelain University, 2008) Awatif M. El Siddieg
    Abstract In this thesis an implementation of the extended Dantzig - Wolfe method to solve a general quadratic programming problem (that is, obtaining a local minimum of a quadratic function subject to inequality constraints) is presented. The method ‘tenninates successfully at a KT point in a finite number of steps. No extra effort is needed when the function is non-convex. The method solve convex quadratic programming problems. S0 it is a simplex like procedure to the Dantzig - Wolfe method. So it is, the same as the Dantzig — Wolfe method when tlije-»'_Ii-Iessian matrix of the quadratic function is positive definite. The obvious difference between our ‘method and the Dnatzig — Wolfe method is in the possibility of decreasing the complement of the new variable that has just become non-basic. In the practical implementation of the method we inherit the computational features of the active set methods using’the'mat1-ices H, U and T, and in particular the stable features (see»G_i1_l.-and_Mui‘ray (1978)). The features fie, the stable features) are achieved by using orthogonal factorizations of the matrix of . active constraints when the tableau is complementary.
