• Project
  • Here is the Project itself.
  • The sensitivity analysis questions have been revised.
  • The model file and the data file are now available.
  • The senstivity analysis solutions are available.
  • Part 3 of the project is now due on Monday, December 11, 1995.
  • AMPL is a mathematical programming and optimization modeling language which is to be used to solve the project. You can input your model into AMPL in a reasonably intuitive way and it will use a solver (such as MINOS or CPLEX) for solving the problem. It is capable of solving linear, nonlinear, and integer programs. There is a writeup for using AMPL on the RCS system.

    AMPL sample files are available.

    If you buy the AMPL textbook, it comes with an IBM PC-compatible disk which you can use to run AMPL; the disk includes versions of MINOS and CPLEX.

    AMPL has WWW pages at Northwestern and at Bell Labs.

    There is information available about other optimization packages on RCS.
