Hi, 

I would like to know if it is possible with GLPK to solve problems with
a 
piecewise linear objective function. 

I currently work on a model for supply chain planning which uses a term 
in the objective funktion with is equal to zero as long as the value
of a decision variable is greater than a given constant value, 
and wich is equal to the product of a cost constant and the difference 
of the constant and the decision variable. 

I use ILOG OPL Studio for developing the model and CPLEX for solving it.

Recently I got the hint to look for GLPK, so I made it running on my PC 
and ported the model. Everything is fine except the piecewise objective 
term. 

(In ILOG OPL I modeled it with a function within the objective function:


maximize sum(...) ... + cost * maxl(0, constant - Variable);  )

BTW: is there any GUI for GLPK which has similar functionality like OPL
Studio 
for CPLEX?
