[Help-glpk] Percentages...

[Mark Frost]

Greetings,

My name is Mark Frost and I'm brand new here.  I'm using GLPK's MILP
program and have a question about the log output.

Can someone please explain generally how the percentages to optimality
are calculated.  i.e. if I stop the solver at say 10% (for time
efficiency) what does that mean with respect to the optimal solution.


I possess a very strong math background but am a novice in OR related
subjects, (but am learning fast) so please excuse my question if it is
too basic.

Thank you in advance for your help.  

Mark
