HiGHS is open-source software to solve linear programming (LP), mixed-integer programming (MIP), and convex quadratic programming (QP) models. [1] Written in C++ and published under an MIT license, HiGHS provides programming interfaces to C, Python, Julia, Rust, JavaScript, Fortran, and C#. It has no external dependencies.
Linear programming is a special case of mathematical programming (also known as mathematical optimization ). More formally, linear programming is a technique for the optimization of a linear objective function, subject to linear equality and linear inequality constraints. Its feasible region is a convex polytope, which is a set defined as the ...
Google OR-Tools is a free and open-source software suite developed by Google for solving linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), constraint programming (CP), vehicle routing (VRP), and related optimization problems. OR-Tools is a set of components written in C++ but provides wrappers for Java, .NET and Python.
Interior-point methods (also referred to as barrier methods or IPMs) are algorithms for solving linear and non-linear convex optimization problems. IPMs combine two advantages of previously-known algorithms: Theoretically, their run-time is polynomial —in contrast to the simplex method, which has exponential run-time in the worst case.
Big M method. In operations research, the Big M method is a method of solving linear programming problems using the simplex algorithm. The Big M method extends the simplex algorithm to problems that contain "greater-than" constraints. It does so by associating the constraints with large negative constants which would not be part of any optimal ...
GLOP (the Google Linear Optimization Package) is Google 's open source linear programming solver, created by Google's Operations Research Team. It is written in C++ and was released to the public as part of Google's OR-Tools software suite in 2014. [1] GLOP uses a revised primal-dual simplex algorithm optimized for sparse matrices. It uses ...
Comparison of optimization software. Given a system transforming a set of inputs to output values, described by a mathematical function f, optimization refers to the generation and selection of the best solution from some set of available alternatives, [1] by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set, computing the value ...
