Many classes of mathematical programming problems can be formulated as a linear program with a parametric objective function. Gass and Saaty developed in the early 1950’s a parametric programming procedure for solving the latter problem. This procedure is relevant to solution strategies for many problem types but is underutilized, often because the relationship of the procedure to the relevant problem class is not recognized. In this paper five recent applications of the parametric programming procedure are presented.
