[Help-glpk] Problem size limit?

2008-03-17 Thread orlan
Hello all, Does anyone know of a theoretical size limit for a non-integer GLPK problem? At some level, large problems may not be solvable to optimality in a 'reasonable' amount of time (given available hardware). Very, very large problems may not be solveable to optimality, perhaps ever. W
