Lecture slides for Dec 1
Exercise sheet 5 online. Also a ZIMPL file which contains already some lines. For exercise 10, you only need to fill in some gaps. 5 instances for trying the completed TSP solver can be found here .
New version of the exercise sheet for the presentation homework. There were some errors in the data tables, sorry about that. Please check carefully that you are using the new data values!
You can find a solution for the sudoku problem in ZIMPL here. We actually forgot about a really simple constraint in the exercise session. Can you guess what it is?
Lecture slides for Nov 24
Uploaded sudoku input file. You can read it with ZIMPL using the command set V := { read "sudoku-sheet.dat" as "<1n, 2n, 3n>" comment "#" };
Lecture slides for Nov 17
ZIMPL-file for Capacitated Facility Location from Nov 17.
Lecture slides for Nov 10
ZIMPL-file for unconnected facility location the from the exercise session. Please look at it if you had problems during the exercises, it is well documented.
