A column generation approach updates a small set B of columns which wecall as basis. In each iteration, the sub-problem identifies a column of the optimalreduced cost from the huge pool A of the columns of the master problem. Thereduced cost of a column is a measure of the column’s contribution to improvingthe objective value of the master problem. The rule of updating the basis withthe column of the best reduced cost is referred to as Dantzig’s Rule. Since thereduced cost is a linear objective function in a column generation framework, Steepest Edge Rule for Column Generation
