An Alternative Algorithm for Detecting Anchor Points

Bougnol and Dula (M.L.Bougnol,J.H.Dula, 2009. Anchor point in DEA. European Journal of Operational Research 192 (2009) 668-676) recently proposed an alternative algorithm to identify anchor points. Despite its innovative aspect, it is very expensive from computational point of view. In this paper, an algorithm which identifies a main part of anchor points without solving any model is proposed. also, the re- maining anchor points are identified only by solving one model.
