INTRODUCTION TO ILOG OPL TO MODEL AND SOLVE MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS

ILOG OPL is a modeling language to solve mathematical programming and combinatorial optimization problems. It is the first modeling language that combines high-level algebraic and set notations from modeling languages. In OPL, we able to specify search procedures and strategies that is the essence of constraint programming. Here, we present some useful tools provided in OPL to model and solve mathematical programming problems.
