Sekilas Tentang Lingo

LINGO is a comprehensive tool designed to make building and solving mathematical optimization models easier and more efficient. LINGO provides a completely integrated package that includes a powerful language for expressing optimization models, a full-featured environment for building and editing problems, and a set of fast built-in solvers capable of efficiently solving most classes of optimization models. LINGO’s primary features include:

1. LINGO supports a powerful, set-based modeling language that allows users to express math programming models efficiently and compactly. Multiple models may be solved iteratively using LINGO’s internal scripting capabilities.
2. LINGO takes the time and hassle out of managing your data. It allows you to build models that pull information directly from databases and spreadsheets. Similarly, LINGO can output solution information right into a database or spreadsheet making it easier for you to generate reports in the application of your choice. Complete separation of model and data enhance model maintenance and scalability.
3. You can build and solve models within LINGO, or you can call LINGO directly from an application you have written. For developing models interactively, LINGO provides a complete modeling environment to build, solve, and analyze your models
4. LINGO is available with a comprehensive set of fast, built-in solvers for linear, nonlinear (convex & nonconvex), quadratic, quadratically constrained, and integer optimization. You never have to specify or load a separate solver, because LINGO reads your formulation and automatically selects the appropriate one.

One of LINGO’s most powerful features is its mathematical modeling language. LINGO’s modeling language lets you express your problem in a natural manner that is very similar to standard mathematical notation. Rather than entering each term of each constraint explicitly, you can express a whole series of similar constraints in a single compact statement. This leads to models that are much easier to maintain and scale up.

Another convenient feature of LINGO’s modeling language is the data section. The data section allows you to isolate your model’s data from the formulation. In fact, LINGO can even read data from a separate spreadsheet, database, or text file. With data independent of the model, it’s much easier to make changes, and there’s less chance of error when you do.
