Abstract: A fractional programming problem is considered of the maximization of the ratio of a concave and a convex function, with each variable occurring in a single convex component constraint. A componentwise solution algorithm is given; each component-problem being defined by a weighted difference of thc,concave and the convex functions of the given fractional objective function; the relative weight being recalculated after each componentwise optimization.
