Now glpsol has new option '--seed value', where value is a seed value (any integer) used to initialize the pseudo-random number generator in the MathProg translator. The seed value can be specified as ? (question mark), in which case it is assigned some random (time-based) number. If the option '--

Andrew, Thanks. This gave me a good start, I came up with the following idea to generate a starting point for each time the code is executed: param utc := prod {1..2} (gmtime()-10); param seed := utc - 10*floor(utc/10); check sum{1..seed} Uniform01() > 0; It would be nice to hav

Hi -- Within GMPL (i.e., MathProg) , is there a simple way to set the seed for psuedo-random number generation? I'd like to be able to randomize the starting point to stress test an example I'm developing. Thanks, Jeff Kantor ___ Help-glpk mailing list
