spbenders1.gms : Stochastic Benders - Sequential GAMS Loop

Description

This example demonstrates a stochastic Benders implementation for the
simple transport example.

This is the first example of a sequence of stochastic Benders
implementations using various methods to solve the master and
subproblem.

This first example implements the stochastic Benders algorithm using
sequential solves of the master and subproblems in a GAMS loop.

Keywords: linear programming, stochastic Benders algorithm, transportation
