Industrial Mathematics Final Year Topic: Degeneracy and Alternate Optima in a Small Transportation Allocation Model

This Industrial Mathematics final year project examines whether different optimal transport allocations can have the same modelled cost.

Generate the Complete Project Read project brief

Why choose this project topic?

A focused study of transport allocation gives you a specific question in operations research. It examines whether different optimal transport allocations can have the same modelled cost. The bounded comparison creates room to explain how your evidence supports an interpretation and where the method has limits.

How do balanced supply-demand patterns and cost ties affect degeneracy and alternate optima in a transportation model?

Agree the apparatus or dataset, comparison range and feasible measurement schedule for transport allocation with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the materials, variables and comparison conditions for transport allocation.
  2. 02Use a transparent synthetic shipment table with known units and constraints.
  3. 03Evaluate the measurements or model outputs in relation to this question: How do balanced supply-demand patterns and cost ties affect degeneracy and alternate optima in a transportation model?

A suggested research approach

Use a transparent synthetic shipment table with known units and constraints. Solve the linear programme, verify conservation and dual bounds, and change selected costs within a documented sensitivity analysis. Agree the available resources and record uncertainty, deviations from the protocol and any observations that challenge the initial interpretation.

What you will need

  • A synthetic supply-demand and unit-cost table
  • A documented transportation-model formulation
  • A solver with feasibility and optimality checks

Keep your project scope clear

The simplified costs omit road conditions, delays and contractual constraints unless explicitly modelled; an optimum is conditional on those assumptions.
