The Linear and Non-Linear Optimization Solver (or simply the Optimization Solver) is designed to compute an optimized set of decision variables that either maximize or minimize a given objective function while also satisfying a set of arbitrary constraints defined by the user.
It is widely used in the field of operations research, and can also be a very useful business tool that helps you make an informed decision on a multitude of complex scenarios that you may encounter in your day-to-day business operations.
Limitations:
Currently it only solves constrained linear models! An algorithm for non-linear model is being worked on.
A constraint value must be a cell reference. Simply typing a value will not work.
The Reset and Options buttons do absolutely nothing!
It assumes that the model is linear. It does NOT solve a non-linear model yet.
What's New in This Release:
The two packages have been combined into one, so that only one package needs to be installed.
Preprocessing of the model has been disabled, because it was preventing lpsolve from solving certain models.
