LATEST RELEASE: May 2024

LINGO is a comprehensive tool designed to make building and solving Linear, Nonlinear (convex & nonconvex/Global), Quadratic, Quadratically Constrained, Second Order Cone, Semi-Definite, Stochastic, and Integer optimization models faster, easier and more efficient. LINGO provides a completely integrated package that includes a powerful language for expressing optimization models, a full featured environment for building and editing problems, and a set of fast built-in solvers. The recently released LINGO 20 includes a number of significant enhancements and new features.

EASY MODEL EXPRESSION

LINGO will help you cut your development time. It lets you formulate your linear, nonlinear and integer problems quickly in a highly readable form. LINGO’s modeling language allows you to express models in a straightforward intuitive manner using summations and subscripted variables — much like you would with pencil and paper. Models are easier to build, easier to understand, and, therefore, easier to maintain. LINGO can exploit multiple CPU cores for faster model generation, … more

CONVENIENT DATA OPTIONS

LINGO takes the time and hassle out of managing your data. It allows you to build models that pull information directly from databases and spreadsheets. Similarly, LINGO can output solution information right into a database or spreadsheet making it easier for you to generate reports in the application of your choice, … more

POWERFUL SOLVERS

LINGO is available with a comprehensive set of fast, built-in solvers for Linear, Nonlinear (convex & nonconvex/Global), Quadratic, Quadratically Constrained, Second Order Cone, Stochastic, and Integer optimization. You never have to specify or load a separate solver, because LINGO reads your formulation and automatically selects the appropriate one, … more

MODEL INTERACTIVELY OR CREATE TURN-KEY APPLICATIONS

You can build and solve models within LINGO, or you can call LINGO directly from an application you have written. For developing models interactively, LINGO provides a complete modeling environment to build, solve, and analyze your models. For building turn-key solutions, LINGO comes with callable DLL and OLE interfaces that can be called from user written applications. LINGO can also be called directly from an Excel macro or database application, … more

EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION AND HELP

LINGO provides all of the tools you will need to get up and running quickly. You get the LINGO User Manual (in printed form and available via the online Help), which fully describes the commands and features of the program. Also included with super versions and larger is a copy of Optimization Modeling with LINGO, a comprehensive modeling text discussing all major classes of linear, integer and nonlinear optimization problems. LINGO also comes with dozens of real-world based examples for you to modify and expand, … more

 

LINGO 21.0 includes a wide range of performance enhancements and new features:

  • Improved reproducibility when solving a problem repeatedly, particularly with the concurrent option choosing the fastest of Barrier, Primal simplex, and dual simplex.
  • Global solver offers improved handling of IF statements and polynomials.
  • New symmetry detection capabilities have been added to the integer (MIP) solver. This can dramatically reduce the time needed to prove optimality on some models with integer variables.
  • Improved Multi-start for quickly finding good solutions to difficult nonconvex problems.
  • External Solvers Improvements. Increased support for the external solvers, including linear solvers such as COPT, CLP and HIGHS. Improved support for not only CONOPT, but also external Nonlinear solvers such as IPOpt
  • Enhancements to the Windows version:
    • Improved model editor, with the ability to split the edit window into multiple panes.
    • New auto-completion of common keywords when typing.
    • Larger Undo Redo buffer with support for more operations.
    • Faster find and replace method.
    • Larger toolbar buttons.
    • Improved Unicode handling.
