  33. <p>A sparse matrix representation of <var>m</var> is used because in practice
  34. <a name="index-sparse-matrix-716"></a>most linear programming problems have very sparse systems of equations.
  35. <p>Only the constraint of non-negativity is admitted. Other
  36. <a name="index-constraints-717"></a>constraints such as upper bounds must be effected through a change of
  37. variables if required.
  38. <p>The <code>glpk</code> library has a small memory leak, which <code>avram</code>
  39. corrects by methods described in <a href="Memory-leaks.html#Memory-leaks">Memory leaks</a>.
