SOLVER fails to find optimal solution

I appreciate your effort to add a solver to ONLYOFFICE, but the current version fails to find the optimal solution in the below linear programming problem

max z = 3*x1 + 2*x2

subject to

x1 + 3*x2 <= 5
4*x1 + 2*x2 <= 11
x1, x2 nonnegative

The correct optimal solution is

x1 = 2.3
x2 = 0.9
max z = 8.7

but unfortunately the ONLYOFFICE solver finds erroneously the following solution

x1=5
x2=0

which violates the second constraint.

For your convenience, you may download the Excel file from here (my Google Drive).

Please pass this to your development team.

Hey @paravantis, :wave:

Thanks a lot for the detailed report, the problem description, and the example file — this is exactly the kind of feedback that helps us improve!

I’ve already passed everything to the development team for investigation.

I’ll keep you updated right here as soon as there’s progress or a fix.

One small thing: the Google Drive link says “Access denied”.
I’ve sent a request for access — if you could approve it or upload the file directly here (or to ONLYOFFICE DocSpace/kDrive), that would be perfect. Thanks again! :blush:

I am copying the link to the Excel file again below:

This time, I have made sure it’s available for everyone with the link (don’t worry if it says Private).

Best,

Hey @paravantis, :wave:

Thank you so much for the file and for making it accessible — it’s now downloaded and will be very useful for testing!

We’ve created a bug report for this behavior!

Thanks again for your clear example and for contributing to the community — reports like yours really help us improve!
I’ll keep you posted on any progress. :hugs:
