Exam (elaborations) TEST BANK FOR OPERATIONS RESEARCH Computer Science Interfaces Series By Harvey J. Greenberg - A Computer-Assisted Analysis System for Mathematical Programming Models and Solutions

1.1 What you have and how to begin. The DOS version is on one 3~" disk (1.44mb) with the following files. File .......................................... Contents ANALDATAARC .............. Data and Documents ANALEXEC.ARC ............... Executable FLIPDOCS.ARC .................. FLIP Documents HPAGERARC .................... Pagination for HP LPRNDATAARC ............... LPRENAME Data LPRNEXEC.ARC. ............... LPRENAME Executable MOREDATA.ARC ............. More linear programs PKXARC.COM .................... ARC extraction VIEWDOCS.ARC. ............... Views Documents Codes were compiled with LaheyR) F77L-EM/32 5.0 and linked under DOS 3.3 (the executable uses the Phar Lap extender). Begin by copying the original disks for a backup. To install ANALYZE on your IBM PS2 (or a clone) under DOS, you will need about 2mb on your hard disk (details for installation are given in § 1.3). This User's Guide is designed to be read sequentially. A reference manual may be generated by ANALYZE using EXEC DOCANAL. This and other information about on-line help is given in § 1.5. 1.2 Modular design. Figure 1-1 shows an Input/Output schematic of ANALYZE. The only required input file to ANALYZE is a matrix file. This is the (de facto) standard MPS file, which is accepted by all commercial optimizers and can be generated by most LP modeling languages (see §8.2 for a utility, called LPRENAME, that accepts another type of LP input file). For model analysis this may be sufficient, but other files are useful, such as a solution file from an optimizer. These (and other) files are described in Chapter 6. To get started, the data files (extracted from ANALDATA.ARC) contain a variety of examples, which are used in the exercises in Chapters 4, 5 and 7).
