The Clearing System of Mutual Settlements between Participants of the Innovation-Industrial Cluster

Abstract

An innovation-industrial cluster is an association of business entities for the purpose of their effective interaction and joint sustainable development. The most important component of the cluster development infrastructure is the digital platform of the industrial cluster – an information system designed to support the interaction of cluster members throughout its entire life cycle. Within the framework of the digital platform, applied and specific tasks for the cluster members are solved. The article is devoted to solving the problem of multilateral clearing of settlements between cluster members. The solution to the problem is the plan of mutual settlements between the cluster members, which minimizes the objective function that sets the value of the costs of counterparties in mutual settlements. Algorithms for the formation of the optimal plan are given. The examples of solving the multilateral clearing problems are considered.
