[Insight-users] Linear programming in ITK

[Yulia.Arzhaeva at csiro.au]

 Hi Markus.

If I am not very much mistaken, linear programming is more than solving a system of linear equations. Basically, I am looking for an implementation of simplex method inside ITK. Any ideas about that?

Best regards,
Yulia

Hi Yulia,

maybe you have a look at
- vnl_linear_system
 
http://public.kitware.com/vxl/doc/release/core/vnl/html/classvnl__linear__system.html
- vnl_lsqr as solver
 
http://public.kitware.com/vxl/doc/release/core/vnl/html/classvnl__lsqr.html
- or in directory algo (
http://public.kitware.com/vxl/doc/release/core/vnl/html/dir_000002.html )
  for more advanced solvers.

Best regards
Markus
