CHARACTERISTICS OF DEFINING HYPERPLANES OF CONSTANT RETURNS TO SCALE TECHNOLOGY IN DEA

Abstract

In this paper characteristics of defining hyperplanes of constant returns to scale technology in DEA have been investigated. A defining hyperplane namely H is a type of hyperplane that with the elimination of H, the production possibility set (PPS) will be enlarged (In this paper a defining hyperplane exactly is the full dimensional efficient facet (FDEF) and may be found in Olesen and Peterson (1996, 2003)). The point of view of some of the characteristics is conceptual and the interpretation of defining hyperplanes of constant returns to scale technology can be achieved by these conceptual characteristics. However, some of the characteristics are practical and one can easily utilize them in practice. Some parts of topology and convex analysis have been considered to show the truth of characteristics.
