Linear Programming
Whether you’re using C#, Visual Basic (VB.NET) or F#, Numerics.NET makes it easy to include linear programming functionality in your .NET applications. Numerics.NET is a complete math, linear algebra, data analysis, and statistics package for the Microsoft .NET platform. Linear programming features include:
- Linear Program Solver based on the Revised Simplex Method
- Suitable for small to medium sized problems.
- Optimized treatment of bounds on variables.
- Optimized treatment of equality and range constraints.
- Import programs in standard MPS format.
Linear programming classes
The classes that implement the linear programming functionality live in the Numerics.NET.Optimization.LinearProgramming namespace. The principal classes are:
- LinearProgram Represents a linear programming problem.
- LinearConstraint Represents a constraint in an optimization model.
- DecisionVariable Represents a column or variable in a linear program.
- MpsReader Reads linear programs in MPS format.
The Linear Programming section of the Mathematics Library User’s Guide explains their use in detail.
