✦ Synopsis

A new "pivotaltt technique for systematizing the Dantzig method is explained. The technique has been found useful in simplifying coding and in reducing iter.ation time on a digital computer. The f i r s t use of the technique was in a novel program aimed at problems for which the number of destinatio.ns is many times g r e a t e r than the number of s o u r c e s . The nature of the program 16 explained, and performance data a r e given for a number of ,computations.
