Abstract:
An algorithm based on convex programming is developed for optimum time compression in network scheduling systems. The development allows for the activity time-cost trade-off functions to be any continuous differentiable convex function. Decomposition theory is then applied to reduce the amount of computation necessary. This along with a limited number of rules to structure any incoming vector makes the algorithm amenable to time compression in large project networks. Author
