What is glpk

The GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) package is intended for solving large-scale linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), and other related problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C and organized in the form of a callable library. GLPK supports the GNU MathProg language, which is a subset of the AMPL language. The GLPK package includes the following main components * Revised simplex method. * Primal-dual interior point method. * Branch-and-bound method. * Translator for GNU MathProg. * Application program interface (API). * Stand-alone LP/MIP solver. glpk 5.0 2.fc34 x86_64 385 k glpk-5.0-2.fc34.src.rpm fedora GNU Linear Programming Kit https GPLv3+ The GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) package is intended for solving large-scale linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), and other related problems.
