GAMS Software Information
(See e.g. the
FAQ
or
the GAMS home page.)
You can get help locally on GAMS in MC2048, (8:30-12, 1:00-4:30) from
Colin Cambpell, campbell@dcs1. There is also a uw.gams newsgroup
and a uw.co.co370 newsgroup.
There is an online library of sample gams programs. I have made many of
these, as well as some new ones,
available here.
OTC,
Optimization Technology Center
Besides using GAMS, there is the new
Optimization Technology Center.
The center's mission is to make
potential users in industry, government, and academia aware of how
optimization techniques can aid their work, and to make the latest
techniques widely available. Center
products are designed to help at each stage of problem solving, from
modeling real-world applications
through solving the mathematical problem to interpreting the results.
You may want to look at some
case studies.
Note: the LP solver uses MPS input format:

Following are assignments, the midterm, and solution files.
The midterm will be held 7-9PM on Friday March 1 in MC 4020/4021.
The final will be held 9-12AM Tuesday April 9/96.
You can use lpmovie to solve linear programs with MATLAB.
The tar file
lpmovie.tar.Z
contains all the files you need.
This file is available in the same directory as the solution
files. (You can use the command: tar xvf lpmovie.tar) Alternatively, the
files are available on the undergrad.math machines, in the /u2/co350 and
/u3/co370 accounts.
The assignments are included in the
course handout.
