4.65 GLPK current
stable release

Welcome to the Wikibook about GLPK, the GNU Linear Programming Kit for solving large-scale linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), and other related problems. GLPK is free software and licensed under the GNU General Public License 3.

This Wikibook also covers a number of related initiatives (for instance, cross-platform model editors) which have clustered around the mainline GLPK project.

This book was started in June 2010 and is currently under construction. Your participation in the writing and editing of the GLPK wikibook is highly appreciated. If you have any idea as to how this book can be improved, please place your suggestion in the Task List.

You can search this book. You can search the GLPK mailing list archives. You can chat about GLPK at ircs://chat.freenode.net:6697/glpk.
