About:
SoPlex is an object-oriented library for solving linear programming problems (LPs) implemented in C++. It features a highly precise simplex optimizer that supports both exact rational arithmetic and floating-point arithmetic. The tool is widely used in academic research and as a foundation for other optimization software.

Key Features:

Dual simplex and primal simplex algorithms
Support for exact rational arithmetic
Highly precise floating-point arithmetic
C++ API with interfaces for Python and C

Use Cases:

Solving large-scale linear programming problems
Benchmarking and developing optimization algorithms
Research in mathematical optimization

Alternatives:

lp_solve – SoPlex is generally more robust and scalable for large problems.
GLPK – SoPlex often offers higher precision and better performance on specific LP models.
