I Open source software for integer programming

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

I don't usually need help in locating software, but I'm having a heck of a time tracking down a good open-source bit of software which solves integer programming problems using arbitrary precision! If I don't find one soon, I'll need to write it myself. Which I don't mind, but it's silly to reinvent the wheel. Besides, the sooner I finish my current math project, the sooner I can get back to physics projects.

I'm using GLPK right now, and it's brilliant up to a point. I could hack on it to make it do what I want regarding big integers, but I prefer not to need to spend the time. So if someone knows about a quick solution, I would appreciate the help.

BTW I have implemented a pure binary solver, but that's not exactly what I need. Not every variable is binary. I think I see a way to overcome this, but once again, I hate spending time on software if it's already available. But it must be free and open source.

Thank you.

Have you tried Sage? It can do arbitrary precision integer arithmetic.

Thanks, I will check it out! I look forward to other suggestions as well.

p.s. Here's one example of the use of linear programming in physics. It's a fascinating mathematical technique with a huge variety of applications.

I did come across this reference from Sandia, but it's a bit dated now. Things change fast.

Never mind. I have solved this problem without using any 3rd party software.
