Bug#727237: ITA: coinor-cbc -- Coin-or branch-and-cut
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
In consultation with the current maintainer, Etienne Millon, who will
acknowledge here, I intend to adopt this package.
The package description is:
Cbc (Coin-or branch and cut) is an open-source mixed integer programming
solver written in C++. It is primarily meant to be used as a callable
library, but a basic, stand-alone executable version is also available.
.
Mixed integer programming (MIP) is a generalization of linear programming (LP)
and allows to find the minimum solution of objective functions depending
linearly on variables, which are linearly constrained and additionally may
have integrality constraints.
.
Cbc is part of the larger COIN-OR initiative (Computational Infrastructure for
Operations Research) and depends on the COIN-OR Clp linear programming solver
for solving subproblems.
.
Cbc works well as independent solver (reading files in the MPS format) and as a
solver backend for AMPL.
.
This package contains the binaries and libraries.
