This is the Main Model Page for mathematical modelling using LPL. Each link below gives you access to a list of models formulated in the modelling language LPL and they can all be solved directly through the Internet.
It consists of a rich list of more than 400 models. Many of them come with a complete description and modeling text compiled in PDF together with exercises and ready-to-learn modeling explanations. The compiled text of all models is much over 1'000 pages -- quite a large book. It took me a long time to compile and test all these materials. The complete PDF documentation of all the models has been generated using LPL's own documentation tool.
The material has mainly be compiled in order to teach mathematical modeling in Operations Research courses. However, many examples are simple enough to treat them in high school.
| LPL Tutorial | About 30 Tutorial Examples to learn some basics of the LPL modeling language. It begins with a small production model from OR. |
| Demos | Various Models from different sources are presented here. |
| Puzzles | All model examples are from the modelling book:"Hürlimann T., Mathematical Modelling of Puzzles and Games, 2007". |
| Book: Gueret | All model examples are from the modelling book: ."Guéret Ch., Prins Ch., Sevaux, M., Programmation linéaire, Eyrolles, 2000". (in French). |
| All model examples are from the excellent modelling book: "Williams H.P., Model Building in Mathematical Modelling, Wiley, 3rd edition, 1993". |
|
| Other textbooks | Various small model examples from different OR text books are collected here. |
