Using scipy.optimize.linprog - if I move this part of my code into a compiled language will it be significantly faster?
I'm using scipy.optimize.linprog to solve a bunch (~6000) of LP problems of about 300 parameters each. This code takes a while to run (like 30 min, and I want to run it hundreds of times), and I'm wondering if I could speed it up significantly by…

Closest-points set on simplicial complex
Given two (low-dimensional, probably 2D) simplicial complexes P and Q, is there an efficient algorithm for constructing P', the subset of P consisting of all points in P which are the closest point to some point q in Q?
For instance, if P and Q were…

Linear Programming: Reading LP from text and solving it using the simplex method
I want to design a console application (in visual studio 2010 C#) that can read an LP from a textfile and then solve it using the simplex method.
Example of textfile:
"max 4 5"
"9 8 <= 45"
"5 1 <= 29"
"1 7 <= 15"
The numbers represent the…
