Although Mma has a linearprogramming function, there are times when you would like to access an external program (Minos, CPLEX, ...). The industry standard format for describing linear programs and quadratic programs is call MPS. What would be nice in those situations is to have a function which would analyze the constraints and objective function in Mma to produce a file containing the MPS description. Then the external program could be called via mathlink to solve the problem. So, has anyone written a collection of rules which will take the same arguments as MaxConstrained or MinConstrained and produces the MPS decription in a file? If so, please email me (bobk at decide.com). I'd greatly appreciate not having to reinvent the wheel.
