LIPSOL version 0.3 Release Announcement

Yin Zhang

LIPSOL is a Matlab-based package for solving linear programs by interior-Point methods. For computational efficiency it uses a Fortran package by Esmond Ng and Barry Peyton at ORNL to solve large sparse linear systems. LIPSOL has been tested on the Netlib set of linear programs and has effectively solved all 95 Netlib problems.

What's New?

  • implemented a dense-column handling strategy;
  • added rules for early termination on infeasible problems;
  • added support for a new LPP (LP-Plain) format for LP input;
  • included all source, thus making v0.3 highly portable;
  • included numerous improvements and bug fixes over the previous release -- version beta-2.2 (we have changed the version numbering system).
