Sokolinskaya" ], "categories": [ "math.OC" ], "abstract": "In the development of industrial digital twins, the optimization problem of technological and business processes often arises. In many cases, this problem can be reduced to a large-scale linear programming (LP) problem. The article is devoted to the new method for solving large-scale LP problems. This method is called the \"apex-method\". The apex-method uses the predictor-corrector framework. The predictor step calculates a point belonging to the feasible region of LP problem. The corrector step calculates a sequence of points converging to the exact solution of the LP problem. The article gives a formal description of the apex-method and provides information about its parallel implementation in C++ language by using the MPI library. The results of large-scale computational experiments on a cluster computing system to study the scalability of the apex method are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-26T11:49:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "linear optimization", "industrial processes", "scalable method", "solving large-scale lp problems", "apex-method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
