Inputting and solving a Linear Programming problem

In this chapter we take the example formulated in Chapter 2 and show how to implement the model with BCL. With some extensions to the initial formulation we also introduce input and output functionalities of BCL:

• writing an LP model with BCL,
• data input from file using index sets,
• output facilities of BCL,
• exporting a problem to a matrix file.

Chapter 3 shows how to formulate and solve the same example with Mosel and in Chapter 15 the problem is input and solved directly with Xpress Optimizer.
