The AMPL Book PDF

A comprehensive guide to building optimization models, for beginning or experienced users.

• Written by the creators of AMPL, this book is a complete guide for modelers at all levels of experience.

• Much more than a user’s manual, it begins with a tutorial on widely used linear programming models and proceeds through a more detailed tutorial exposition of all of AMPL’s features. Extensive examples show how each feature is used in meaningful contexts.

• Advanced chapters cover network, nonlinear, piecewise-linear, and integer programming; database and spreadsheet interactions; and command scripts.

• Most chapters include exercises for study or classroom use.

• AMPL Book Chapters
• AMPL Book Examples
