Course about advanced modeling for discrete optimization, covering topics such as debugging or predicates

Welcome to AMPL (A Mathematical Programming Language), a powerful and intuitive modeling language designed specifically for large-scale optimization problems. If you are new to modeling languages or AMPL, this page will guide you through what AMPL is, its benefits, and why it stands out in the landscape of programming and modeling languages.

Course about discrete optimization covering a wide range of optimization techniques such as Constraint Programming, Local Search or Column Generation

GAMS is a modeling system for mathematical optimization that lets users formulate complex problems in a high-level language and run them with different commercial and open-source solvers. All solvers are packaged in a single distribution, making it easy to switch between them and giving customers one point of contact for licensing and support. It also has a Python interface -GAMSPy- for building and solving mathematical optimization models using the GAMS technology stack. It keeps the modeling concepts of GAMS (sets, parameters, variables, equations) but exposes them as Python classes and functions. This allows modelers to stay in the Python ecosystem while using mature GAMS solvers and workflows.

Open source software suite for optimization, tuned for tackling the world's toughest problems in vehicle routing, flows, integer and linear programming, and constraint programming.

JuMP is a domain-specific modeling language for mathematical optimization embedded in Julia. JuMP makes it easy to formulate and solve a range of problem classes, including linear programs, integer programs, conic programs, semidefinite programs, and constrained nonlinear programs.

This site provides access to a number of Operations Research problem data sets.

MiniZinc is a high-level constraint modelling language that allows you to easily express and solve discrete optimisation problems.

Optlang is a Python package implementing a modeling language for solving mathematical optimization problems, i.e. maximizing or minimizing an objective function over a set of variables subject to a number of constraints. Optlang provides a common interface to a series of optimization tools, so different solver backends can be changed in a transparent way.

Instances for several interesting NP-hard problems.
