Title: learning to reformulate for linear programming.
Abstract: It has been verified that the linear programming (LP) is able to formulate many real-life optimization problems, which can obtain the optimum by resorting to corresponding solvers such as OptVerse, Gurobi and CPLEX. In the past decades, a serial of traditional operation research algorithms have been proposed to obtain the optimum of a given LP in a fewer solving time. Recently, there is a trend of using machine learning (ML) techniques to improve the performance of above solvers. However, almost no previous work takes advantage of ML techniques to improve the performance of solver from the front end, i.e., the modeling (or formulation). In this paper, we are the first to propose a reinforcement learning-based reformulation method for LP to improve the performance of solving process. Using an open-source solver COIN-OR LP (CLP) as an environment, we implement the proposed method over two public research LP datasets and one large-scale LP dataset collected from practical production planning scenario. The evaluation results suggest that the proposed method can effectively reduce both the solving iteration number ($25\%\downarrow$) and the solving time ($15\%\downarrow$) over above datasets in average, compared to directly solving the original LP instances.

Linear Programming Problem Solving Simplex Method

Date Written: February 25, 2022
Most real-world linear programming problems have more than two variables and thus are too complex for graphical solution. A procedure called the simplex method may be used to find the optimal solution to multivariable problems. The simplex method is actually an algorithm (or a set of instructions) with which we examine corner points in a methodical fashion until we arrive at the best solution—highest profit or lowest cost. Computer programs and spreadsheets are available to handle the simplex calculations for you. But you need to know what is involved behind the scenes in order to best understand their valuable outputs. The Simplex method is an approach to solving linear programming models by hand using slack variables, tableaus, and pivot variables as a means to finding the optimal solution of an optimization problem. A linear program is a method of achieving the best outcome given a maximum or minimum equation with linear constraints. Most linear programs can be solved using an online solver such as MatLab, but the Simplex method is a technique for solving linear programs by hand.

Linear programming is a mathematical tool for optimizing an outcome through a mathematical model. In recent times different mathematical models are extensively used in the planning of different real-life applications such as agriculture, management, business, industry, transportation, telecommunication, engineering, and so on. It is mainly used to make the real-life situation easier, more comfortable, and more economic, and to get optimum achievement from the limited resources. This paper has tried to shed light on the basic information about linear programming problems and some real-life applications. It presents the general introduction of the linear programming problem, historical overview, meaning and definition of a linear programming problem, assumptions of a linear programming problem, component of a linear programming problem, and characteristics of a linear programming problem, and some highlights of some real-life applications.

Among the most used syntaxs are CPLEX, MPS or MathProg. The following code picks a model written in CPLEX format, and uses the Rglpk package to solve it. It returns the solution in the original Rglpk format, and in data frame and LATEX formats. It has been used to solve several LPs of the next chapter.
