The final NETLIB-LP results. (English) Zbl 1137.90613

Summary: With standard linear programming solvers there is always some uncertainty about the precise values of the optimal solutions. We implemented a program using exact rational arithmetic to compute proofs for the feasibility and optimality of an LP solution. This paper reports the exact optimal objective values for all NETLIB problems.
