Re: [Help-glpk] Specifying a constraint in CPLEX notation

[glpk xypron]

Hello Reg,

which problems you can formulate does not depend on the input language to GLPK. 
Using the GMPL language would make writing the input file much easier. See 
glpk-4.47/doc/gmpl.pdf

> I want to constrain A[i] to be zero if all the B[i][j] in n are zero.
Checking if B[i][j] is zero will get you into trouble, if B[i,j] are not binary 
or integer. Would you consider 1E-30 as zero?

You will either have to introduce additional binary variables definining if 
B[i,j] is zero, or accept inaccuracies, e.g. in:

-M * sum{i in I, j in J} B[i,j] <= A[i] <= M * sum{i in I, j in J} B[i,j];

Best regards

Xypron
