In real-life scenarios, transportation costs can fluctuate due to different factors. Finding optimal solutions to the transportation problem in the context of variations in cost is vital for ensuring cost efficiency, resource allocation, customer satisfaction, competitive advantage, environmental responsibility, risk mitigation, and operational fortitude in practical situations. This paper opens up new directions for the solution of transportation problems by introducing two key theorems. By using these theorems, we can develop an algorithm for identifying the optimal solution attributes and permitting accurate quantification of changes in overall transportation costs through the addition or subtraction of constants to specific rows or columns, as well as multiplication by constants inside the cost matrix. It is anticipated that the two reliable techniques presented in this study will provide theoretical insights and practical solutions to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of transportation systems. Finally, numerical illustrations are presented to verify the proposed approaches.展开更多

Transportation networks are built up in order to save transportation cost. In the solution procedure of a TP, finding an Initial Basic Feasible Solution (IBFS) is necessary to obtain the optimal solution. Optimality gives us the optimal route that prompts either most extreme benefit or least aggregate cost whichever is required. In this research paper, a new method named Least Cost Mean Method is proposed to obtain a better IBFS where row penalty and column penalty is brought out by the mean of lowest and next lowest cost of each row and each column of the cost matrix. The method is illustrated with numerical examples. To verify the performance of the proposed method, a comparative study is also carried out and observed that it is computationally easier and yielding comparatively better solution.展开更多

The calculational method and concrete expressions of analytical solution about the well-posed initial value problem of the third-kind are given in the analytic function classes. Near an appointed point, the relevant theoretical and computational problems about analytical solution of initial value problem are solved completely in the meaning of local solution. Moreover, for other type ofproblems for determining solution, the computational method and process of their stable analytical solution can be obtained in a similar way given in this paper.展开更多
