Remarks ASLO is builded around the LA05* subroutines of J.K. Reid, for LU factorization of the basis. Some crash heuristic, multiple and partial pricing and scaling techniques are implemented.
It has some components for sensitivity analysis and post-optimization.
It is not equiped with a preprocessing (simplification, reduction) phase. For some problems it has numerical difficulties.
