Abstract
Methods of determining vanishing variables in transportation problems have appeared in a literature published by Intrator and Lev [4]. This paper implements the theorems to special structured transportation problems in general, and tridiagonal transportation problems in particular. New rules are developed for reducing the amount of computations required for solving tridiagonal transportation problems. The rules will result in assigning optimal values to the variables (the values are often zero) and even decomposition of large problems into smaller sub problems.
