N2 - The following problem is considered. Given positive integers (n//1,. . . ,n//m) and an n//m multiplied by m matrix D with the property that the n//m elements in each column form a monotone sequence, find a set A of n//m elements of D whose sum is maximum, and such that for any j,j equals 1,. . . ,m, not more than n//j elements are chosen from columns 1,2,. . . ,j. An algorithm, solving the above problem in time O(m**2log**2n//m) is presented. The algorithm is applicable to a production-sales planning model with concave utilities. It is also demonstrated that the special case of equal columns is solvable in O(m**2) time.
