My experience is that the ConstrainedMax is very handy and stylish, not having to type in the constraints in a conventional tableau form. The problem is basically number crunching in my opinion, so I used SIMPLX (simplex) algorithm from Numerical Recipes, being very satisfied with its limitness and high speed. bye, Borut "David Eppstein" <eppstein at ics.uci.edu> wrote in message news:9rodc2$psp$1 at smc.vnet.net... > I have a linear program I'd like to find the exact rational solution for, > so naturally Mathematica's ConstrainedMax routine is looking promising.
