The GLPK package is a set of routines written in ANSI C and organized
alpar@1
    22
in the form of a callable library. This package is intended for solving
alpar@1
    23
large-scale linear programming (LP), mixed integer linear programming
alpar@1
    24
(MIP), and other related problems.

The GLPK package includes the following main components:
alpar@1
    27
alpar@1
    28
* implementation of the simplex method;
alpar@1
    29
* implementation of the exact simplex method based on bignum (rational)
alpar@1
    30
  arithmetic;
alpar@1
    31
* implementation of the primal-dual interior-point method;
alpar@1
    32
* implementation of the branch-and-cut method;
alpar@1
    33
* application program interface (API);
alpar@1
    34
* GNU MathProg modeling language (a subset of AMPL);
alpar@1
    35
* GLPSOL, a stand-alone LP/MIP solver.
