It seems that a common theme among some of the softwares I use is structure, e.g.
an AMPL model is very similar to the structure of optimization models found in OR textbooks, thus, translating to AMPL code is not too different
the DP2PN2Solver attempts to create a unifying structure for dynamic programming formulations, thereby greatly simplifying [...]
Aside from linear (and mixed integer) programming, dynamic programming (DP) is another favorite topic of mine in our OR courses as it lends itself to diverse and interesting problems. However, in terms of actually getting a solution, I don’t like it as much because we have to do it manually. Unlike for LP/MILP problems which [...]
There are various softwares used by OR professionals, and a particular class is designed to solve linear programming (LP) models. There are a multitude of LP software available, but among these, I’ve chosen to study AMPL due to the following reasons:
flexibility
Similar to other environments such as the statistics software R, or the programming language Python, [...]
