[Help-glpk] glpsol.exe differs from AMPL

[Michael Bramley]

Hello:

 

I am running glpk MIP and in AMPL and finding that the order of the solutions differ.  For example, say I have a model where I need to maximize an objective based upon paired values X, Y, and Z (and each pairing has a score).  I am not using any additional options for the solutions, eg specifying branch&cut, etc.

 

AMPL will tell me that the solution is X, Y, Z

glpk will tell me the solution is Z, X, Y.

 

I note that the sum of the scores for each solution is equivalent (as it should be as addition is commutative).

 

The problem I am trying to reconcile is is there a physical difference between ordering objects X, then Y, then Z with the order of Z, then X, then Y?

 

Not sure if this is clear to everyone, but the main point is I see differences.
