Abstract

We had a particular problem in oilfield operations to solve. This problem naturally decomposed into sub-problems, and this led us to develop Decomposition within the linear programming system that we were using. It was of great help to us when writing the Decomposition program to have this problem in mind. The development of the method went hand in hand with the solution of the oilfield problem.
