A Problem on Optimal Transportation
Cechlarova, Katarina
Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, V24 n4 p182-191 Dec 2005
Mathematical optimization problems are not typical in the classical curriculum of mathematics. In this paper we show how several generalizations of an easy problem on optimal transportation were solved by gifted secondary school pupils in a correspondence mathematical seminar, how they can be used in university courses of linear programming and what the remaining open questions are.
