摘要

This article probes the origins of the Column Generation technique. It begins with Kantorovich’s classic 1939 work, correcting widespread misconceptions about his contributions to the Cutting Stock Problem. It then brings to light Kantorovich and Zalgaller’s lesser-known 1951 book, which is revealed to contain a complete Column Generation algorithm. The article also places these contributions in the context of the turbulent USSR’s political and ideological environment, essential for a deeper understanding of their significance.
