Abstract The minimum concave cost transportation problem is the benchmark problem in numerical computing and it has been used widely in the schedule of smart transportation. In this paper, a deterministic annealing neural network algorithm is proposed to solve the minimum concave cost transportation problem. The algorithm is derived from two neural network models and Lagrange-barrier functions. The Lagrange function is used to handle linear equality constraints and the barrier function is used to force the solution to move to the global or near-global optimal solution. The computer simulations on test problem are made and the results indicate that the proposed algorithm always generates global or near global optimal solutions.
