A convergent algorithm for solving linear programs with an additional reverse convex constraint. (English) Zbl 0596.90081

The author proposes a method of the branch and bound type for the solution of linear problems with an additional reverse convex constraint. This algorithm is inspired by that of N. V. Thoai and H. Tuy [Math. Oper. Res. 5, 556-566 (1980; Zbl 0472.90054)] for the minimization of a concave function subject to linear inequalities. It is proved that, when the method does not terminate, a sequence of points is generated, one of whose accumulation is a solution of the problem.
