Re: [Help-glpk] Using lpx_integer for more than 200 variables

[RC Loh]

Hi Ali,

 

Thank you very much for your reply.. Just a clarification, what do you mean that glpsol would not solve MIP problem with less than 20 integer variables? Do you mean that it takes a very, very long time? In term of hours or in term of days to solve 20 integer variables?

 

Thank you.

 

Rdgs,

Paul

Dear Paul,

The number of integer variables is just one thing. I think i have a
MIP problem with less than 20 integer variables and glpsol would not
be able to solve it.

You should first improve and / or simplify your model rather than
change the code of the GLPK.
Or try a commercial solver such as ILOG CPLEX 10 and see what that can
do, it is not likely you could write a better (general purpose) solver
than that.

You should also try a higher version of GLPK because as far as i know
the MIP part was improved since 4.19.

Good luck,

Ali
