In this paper, we use a binary integer programming
model to detect currency arbitrages. This problem has a special
structure, which allows us to apply the network simplex algorithm.
Using matlab, a program modelled on this algorithm was constructed
to detect currency arbitrages involving numerous pairs of exchange
rates.
