Dear Gábor, For 1) try: t := CharacterTable( "Symmetric", 24 ); More infos can be found with '?Generic Character Tables' in the GAP help. With 'ClassParameters(t);' and 'CharacterParameters(t);' you can find the partitions parameterising the classes and irreducible characters. It is also possible to compute single entries or parts of such tables. > 2) I would like to use linear programming in GAP.

This could save me some time. :-) It seems that several sophisticated implementations were already mentioned. I would also suggest to check out these programs and maybe to write a short interface to one of these instead of implementing something from scratch in GAP.
