Abstract

An algorithm for calculation of optimal train ticket selling share for a departure station and in-between stations is proposed to obtain the ceiling total income. Available demand statistics for relevant stations are taken into account. The solution of the problem is reduced to applying of simplex-method to dual linear programming procedure with special objective function.
