Hansen's Algorithm is a method used in operations research and optimization to solve certain types of linear programming problems. It focuses on finding the optimal solution by iteratively improving a feasible solution, often used in network flow problems. The algorithm is particularly effective for large-scale problems where traditional methods may be inefficient. The algorithm works by exploring the solution space through a series of pivots, adjusting variables to enhance the objective function. It is named after J. B. Hansen, who contributed to its development. This approach is valuable in various fields, including logistics, transportation, and resource allocation.
