Network Models 8. There are several kinds of linear-programming Models that exhibit a special structure that can be exploited in the construction of efficient algorithms for their solution. The motivation for taking advantage of their structure usually has been the need to solve larger problems than otherwise would be possible to solve with existing computer technology. Historically, the first of these special structures to be analyzed was the trans- portation problem, which is a particular type of Network problem. The development of an efficient solution procedure for this problem resulted in the first widespread application of linear programming to problems of industrial logistics.
