Abstract
The algorithm described in this paper approaches the optimal solution of a continuous semi-infinite linear programming problem through a seq uence of basic feasible solutions. The descent rules that we present f or the improvement step are quite different when one deals with non-de generate or degenerate extreme points. For the non-degenerate case we use a simplex-type approach, and for the other case a search direction scheme is applied. Some numerical examples illustrating the method ar e given.
