%0 Journal Article %T New Algebraic Method for Solving the Axial N - Index Transportation Problem Based on the Kronecker Product %A Zeyad Abdel Aziz Al Zhour %A Adem Kilicman %J Matematika %D 2005 %I Universiti Teknologi Malaysia %X A new algebraic method to solve the axial two and three - index transportation problem that is based on the Kronecker product of matrices is suggested. It is applied to solve the axial N(N ¡Ý 2) - index transportation problem, as a general case. Further, the optimal feasible solution of these problem is obtained. The proposed method is considered algebraic, simpe, robust and easily programmable. %K Transportation problem %K Kronecker product %K partitioned matrix. %U http://www.fs.utm.my/matematika/images/stories/matematika/200521203.pdf
