Solving Real-World Linear Programs: A Decade and More of Progress
Abstract
This paper is an invited contribution to the 50th anniversary issue of the journal Operations Research, published by the Institute of Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS). It describes one person's perspective on the development of computational tools for linear programming. The paper begins with a short personal history, followed by historical remarks covering the some 40 years of linear-programming developments that predate my own involvement in this subject. It concludes with a more detailed look at the evolution of computational linear programming since 1987.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
