News - More about "Production Planning by Mixed Integer Programming" textbook

This Production Planning textbook by Pochet and Wolsey uses Xpress-Mosel for all of the mathematical modeling problems. For details see www.dashoptimization.com/home/services/news/news_wolsey.html

The "official" LS-LIB site is now at www.core.ucl.ac.be/LS-LIB/PPbyMIP/. The book contains problems and case studies and the site contains the corresponding versions of the data files and initial formulations in Mosel, the modified formulations based on extended reformulations, cutting planes, and/or heuristic algorithms requiring both Mosel and LS-LIB.

The web site also contains access to a PPbyMIP version of the LS-LIB library containing the reformulation and solution procedures described in Chapter 5 of the book, and needed to treat all the problems and case studies, as well as access to instructions for its use.

A full version of the LS-LIB library, as well as any modifications and updates, and instructions for use, can be obtained via the LS-LIB site. This site also contains a variety of other lot-sizing test problems.
