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 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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
