LINGO is a comprehensive tool designed to make building and solving Linear, Nonlinear (convex & nonconvex/Global), Quadratic, Quadratically Constrained, Second Order Cone, Semi-Definite, Stochastic, and Integer optimization models faster, easier and more efficient. LINGO provides a completely integrated package that includes a powerful language for expressing optimization models, a full featured environment for building and editing problems, and a set of fast built-in solvers. The recently released LINGO 20 includes a number of significant enhancements and new features.
Databases are the tool of choice for managing large amounts of information. LINGO uses ODBC technology to allow you to access set information and data in virtually any popular Windows database application. Using a single statement in your model you can transfer data between LINGO and database applications such as: LINGO can be run as a server application from a database program. For example, using Microsoft Access as your development environment and LINGO as your solver, you could build a complete, turn-key database application for a client or colleague. The user could be provided with input screens, output screens and customized reports as well as a “Solve” button right in their application, which directly calls LINGO and runs a series of specified commands.

| EASY MODEL EXPRESSION
LINGO will help you cut your development time. It lets you formulate your linear, nonlinear and integer problems quickly in a highly readable form. LINGO’s modeling language allows you to express models in a straightforward intuitive manner using summations and subscripted variables — much like you would with pencil and paper. Models are easier to build, easier to understand, and, therefore, easier to maintain. LINGO can exploit multiple CPU cores for faster model generation, … more |
CONVENIENT DATA OPTIONS LINGO takes the time and hassle out of managing your data. It allows you to build models that pull information directly from databases and spreadsheets. Similarly, LINGO can output solution information right into a database or spreadsheet making it easier for you to generate reports in the application of your choice, … more |
|
POWERFUL SOLVERS LINGO is available with a comprehensive set of fast, built-in solvers for Linear, Nonlinear (convex & nonconvex/Global), Quadratic, Quadratically Constrained, Second Order Cone, Stochastic, and Integer optimization. You never have to specify or load a separate solver, because LINGO reads your formulation and automatically selects the appropriate one, … more |
MODEL INTERACTIVELY OR CREATE TURN-KEY APPLICATIONS You can build and solve models within LINGO, or you can call LINGO directly from an application you have written. For developing models interactively, LINGO provides a complete modeling environment to build, solve, and analyze your models. For building turn-key solutions, LINGO comes with callable DLL and OLE interfaces that can be called from user written applications. LINGO can also be called directly from an Excel macro or database application, … more |
| EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION AND HELP
LINGO provides all of the tools you will need to get up and running quickly. You get the LINGO User Manual (in printed form and available via the online Help), which fully describes the commands and features of the program. Also included with super versions and larger is a copy of Optimization Modeling with LINGO, a comprehensive modeling text discussing all major classes of linear, integer and nonlinear optimization problems. LINGO also comes with dozens of real-world based examples for you to modify and expand, … more |
| IMPROVED API INTERFACE
It is now much easier to incorporate your LINGO model(s) into your own custom designed system. The standard LINGO distribution has examples to illustrate how to do this.
LINGO IN EXCEL It is now easy to integrate a LINGO model into an Excel spreadsheet. The end user sees it as just a smart Excel spreadsheet that can solve say, a cutting stock problem for metal fabrication, or vehicle routing and delivery problems, or a supply chain shipping assignment problem, and more.
NEW REST API DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING INTERFACE If you want to have an optimization based application accessible on the web from smart phones and other devices, this is now easier to do.
IMPROVED CAPABILITY TO CREATE A DOCKER IMAGE If you like to be able to move an application from one server to another with minimum hassle, Docker has proven to be a popular way of achieving such portability.
IMPROVED INTERFACE TO R The R statistical package is a popular way of doing statistical analysis. It is now much easier to establish an interface between your data in R and your optimization model in LINGO.
IMPROVED INTERFACE TO PYTHON Python is one of the most popular languages for doing general computations. It is now much easier to establish an interface between your Python application and your optimization model in LINGO. |
ABILITY TO GENERATE ALTERNATE OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS TO LINEAR PROGRAMMING MODELS This may be done interactively, or programmatically within Calc sections using the @NEXTALTOPT() function.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
NONLINEAR AND GLOBAL SOLVER IMPROVEMENTS
SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL USEFUL BUT “PROBLEMATIC” FUNCTIONS: Power utility function (x^g-1)/g and exponential ratio function (exp(g) – 1)/g, are important in some situations modeling consumer behavior. The solver can now robustly avoid the numerical problems that would otherwise occur when g approaches 0.
LINEARIZATION IMPROVEMENTS More expressions can be automatically linearized, so you can now use a fast linear solver where otherwise a much slower (30x?) nonlinear solver might be required. Improved linearization of certain IF expressions. |
