> 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!
