sci@gentoo.org Gentoo Science Project The COIN-OR Formulation of Linear Optimization Problems in C++ (FLOPC++) is a linear optimization modelling language that can be specified in a declarative style, similar to algebraic modelling languages such as GAMS and AMPL, within a C++ program. As a result the traditional strengths of algebraic modelling languages are preserved, while embedding linear optimization models in software applications is facilitated.
