Hi everone,What is the best NLP solver in the market. I was advised of CNPT!What do you think?Thanks,Mike...
Hi,I imagine that in Linux, one potential scenario for causing delays andthus deviating from real-time performance is as follows: In a 2-CPU SMPsystem, the first CPU in the kernel obtains a spinlock, thereforedisables pre-emption on the current cpu during this period. The secondCPU also is in th...
April 20-22 the Technical University of Denmark will hostthe 10th meeting of the Nordic Math Programming Society (NordicMPS). These meetings have established themselves as a Nordic forum forexchange of ideas and presentations of research beyond mathprogramming - also incorporating applications,...
Could someone suggest a good book on calculating manpower requirementsand shift scheduling.My task goes like this:DATA AVAILABLE:- 6 positions need to cover for 24 hours- 1 staff can work 12 hour shift (4 days N / 3 days FF)- 156 days FF / year (3 days FF x 52 weeks) + 36 Leave / year- i.e. 173...
Hi,I am new to the linear programming field. I have a model where all thevariables are integer. I want to count/enumerate all possible pointsin the feasible solution region and there is no objective function(i.e. I have nothing particular to maximize or minimize).Is there any good commercial too...
Hi,Does anybody know any references to the Surrogate Constraint methodapplicable to real small convex separable QP? Any explanations of themethod, papers etc.?I'm trying to solve many (real, not integer) QPs in real time (in a gamephysics engine, in line with the paper of Kaufman et.al.~kau...
Hello,I am trying to solve a combinatorial problem (IP) involving items and bundles using column generation (and pricing). There is a constraint which ascertains that when a bundle of item is selected, all items in that bundle are also selected (x_i >= y_b for all i \in b). The dual of this c...
Just a reminder that MIT has open courseware for a lot of its courses - whereyou can see the lecture notes. For most of the R stuff go to and page down to the SloanSchool of Mgt. and pick a course.Bill...

I am trying to get the top few solutions from an LP. than constraining the LP iteratively "few" number of times, is there a better/intuitive way for doing this? Any clues from the dual of the optimal solution? I tried to look at the duals, but didn't realize any pattern.Thanks....
