Currently, the simplex method is implemented.
Soon ILP and MIP will be supported.
This projetct is still in development.
The APIs can change a lot before the first stable release v1.0.0.
## Install and Run
### Install
```sh
cargo install slp
```
### Help
```sh
$ slp --help
slp 0.1.6
SolHOP Linear Programming Solver
USAGE:
slp [FLAGS] <file>
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-p, --parallel Enable data parallelism
-r, --rat64 Use Rational64
-V, --version Prints version information
ARGS:
<file> Input file
```
### Usage
```sh
slp input.txt
```
where `input.txt` contains the LP instance to be solved.
If no file is provided then input is taken from `stdin`.
To enable data parallelism use `-p` flag.
```sh
slp input.txt -p
```
## Input format
The input is provided throught `stdin`.
An example of LP instance is
```txt
max 2x1 + 3x2
subject to 2x1 + x2 <= 18
6x1 + 5x2 <= 60
2x1 + 5x2 <= 40
x1 >= 0
x2 >= 0
```
The corresponding input format is
```txt
3 2 # 3 is number of constraints and 2 is number of variables
2 3 # coefficients of objective function to be maximized: 2x1 + 3x2
2 1 18 # Constraint 1: 2x1 + x2 <= 18
6 5 60 # Constraint 2: 6x1 + 5x2 <= 60
2 5 40 # Constraint 3: 2x1 + 5x2 <= 40
# x1 >= 0 and x2 >= 0 are always assumed
```
## Output format
The output of the `slp` solver is sent to `stdout` and it can be one of the following:
```txt
INFEASIBLE
```
or
```txt
UNBOUNDED
```
or
```txt
OPTIMAL 28
SOLUTION 5 6
```
representing the objective value to be `28` and the solution as `x1 = 5, x2 = 6`.
## Support for Rational LP Solver
To use Rational64 numbers, use `-r` flag.
Input:
```txt
3 2
-6 -3
-1 -1 -1
-2 1 -1
0 3 2
```
Output when run using command `rsat input.txt`:
```txt
OPTIMAL -5
SOLUTION 0.6666666666666666 0.33333333333333337
```
Output when run using command `rsat -r input.txt`:
```txt
OPTIMAL -5
SOLUTION 2/3 1/3
```
