If you don't have AMPL (and a compatible LP solver) installed on your system, the NEOS server offers free solution of optimization problems in AMPL format with a variety of LP solvers.

In particular, you can use the NEOS server and the MINOS LP solver to run our code. This service is offered interactively through the web page http://neos.mcs.anl.gov/neos/solvers/nco:MINOS/AMPL.html.

For example, you can use the following steps to run our algorithm on the Florentine families network shown in Figure 1 of the paper on the NEOS server:

1. Go to the NEOS web page mentioned above.
2. Use the three 'Browse' buttons on the page to upload the following files:
• Model File: MCFModelFile.txt
• Data File: MCFCutAlgorithm.txt
• Commands File: FlorentineFamilies.txt
3. Enter your email address in the 'email address' window.
4. Click the the 'Submit to NEOS' button.

After you click the 'Submit to NEOS' button you should see messages from the NEOS server, the MINOS solver, and the output from our code scroll by on the screen. All of this output will also be sent to the email address you specified in step 3 above. To verify that this process works correctly, you can compare the contents of the email message to the file NEOSFF.txt.
