Mark Thomas commented on MATH-351:
----------------------------------
Good catch--not sure how I missed this. I'm still getting an
UnboundedSolutionException, even after I set the coefficients all to 1,
however. Note that I'm still using the 2.0 code which was noted above to have a
bug in it--are you using 2.1?
Thanks Jurgen!

> Key: MATH-351
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-351
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: Windows Vista Home Premium Version 6.0 Service Pack 1,
> Build 6001
> Reporter: Mark Thomas
> Fix For: 2.1

> Attachments: SimplexFail.xlsx, TestSimplexFail.java

> SimplexSolver throws an UnboundedSolutionException on a problem instance I
> can optimally solve with Excel's Solver. I've kept the parameters between the
> two programs the same as far as I can tell (i.e. both have a
> precision/epsilon value of 1e-6 and a maxIterations value of 1000). I will
> attach a JUnit test with an example problem on which SimplexSolver fails. I
> will also attach an Excel spreadsheet wtih the same data and successful
> Solver setup in place.
> I don't know a whole lot about linear programming or Simplex, but the problem
> I'm attempting to solve does appear to have a fairly sparse coefficient
> matrix, which may be part of the problem.
> It's surprisingly difficult to find a Java-based linear programming library,
> so I was ecstatic when I found this. Let me know how I can help!
> Thanks!
