Hi. I am aware of three different R packages for linear programming: glpk, linprog, lpSolve. From what I can tell, if there are N variables and M constraints, all these solvers require the full NxM constraint matrix. Some linear solvers I know of (not in R) have a sparse matrix input format. Are there any linear solvers in R that have a sparse matrix input format? (including the possibility of glpk, linprog, and lpSolve, in case I might have missed something in the documentation). Thanks!
