Hello All - A revised copy of my paper is now

Step 1 of procedure PA is not well defined. Consider a graph with 8 cities; there are 7! c.a.s.s. path (that begin and end with city 1). I'll define and example feasible solution by assigning 1/7! units of flow to each c.a.s.s. path.

If that's not the procedure, what is?

From what you write, I am sure you are missing something from the
paper. I am not sure I see how to make things any clearer at this time
though. So, I will try if/when I do a next revision of the paper. I am
afraid you may have to wait till then.

How about supplying, either in the paper or on a web site, pseudo-code for Step 1 of procedure PA? That should make it clear. Or actual code, in any widely available language.
