+        <a href="http://lpsolve.sourceforge.net/5.5/">Mixed Integer Linear
+        Programming (MILP) solver</a>: lp_solve solves pure linear, (mixed)
+        integer/binary, semi-continuous and special ordered sets (SOS)
+        models. Note the word linear. This means that equations must be of
+        the first order. 5 * x - 3 * y is an example. However x * y is not
+        linear and cannot be handled by lp_solve. Both the objective
+        function and the constraints have this restriction. Via the
+        Branch-and-bound algorithm, it can handle integer variables (see
+        integer variables), semi-continuous variables (see semi-continuous
+        variables) and Special Ordered Sets (see Special Ordered Sets
+        (SOS)).

+        Interior Point SOLvers</a>: LIPSOL is a Matlab-based package for
+        solving linear programs by interior-Point methods. For
+        computational efficiency it uses a Fortran package by Esmond Ng and
+        Barry Peyton at ORNL to solve large sparse linear systems. LIPSOL
+        has been tested on the Netlib set of linear programs and has
+        effectively solved all 95 Netlib problems.
