Linear programming algorithms have been widely used in Decision Support Systems. These systems have incorporated linear programming algorithms for the solution of the given problems. Yet, the special structure of each linear problem may take advantage of different linear programming algorithms or different techniques used in these algorithms. This paper proposes a web-based DSS that assists dec...

An algorithm for solving large-scale nonlinear' programs with linear constraints is presented. The method combines efficient sparse-matrix techniques as in the revised simplex method with stable quasi-Newton methods for handling the nonlinearities. A general-purpose production code (MINOS) is described, along with computational experience on a wide variety of problems.

objective(s): in developing countries and worldwide cervical cancer is an important cause of   female mortality. reports describing the frequency and pattern of abnormal pap smears in saudi arabia, using the revised bethesda system (rbs) are very few. the current study was conducted to explore the changing pattern of epithelial cell abnormalities (eca) detected in pap smears (ps) in females of ...
