Hello all
I have recently been talking to economists who
solve MCPs (mixed-complementarity problems) to
find equilibria in simplified markets under
strategic behavior. GAMS supports MCPs -- indeed
their use may have been a driving force behind its
development.
A GPL'ed MCP solver is now available, written in
Matlab/Octave (Schmelzer 2012). But no open model
translators, as far as I am aware.
Is the development of an MCP translator and solver
something that could be usefully tacked by GLPK?
Something for the roadmap? Mostly thinking out
aloud here.
I should add that their seems to be a lot of
interest in Nash-Cournot models and such for
analysing and trying to understand electricity
markets.
