The computer program listed below seeks to solve Li and Sun's Problem 14.4 but with 15000 general integer variables instead of their 100 general integer variables [12, p. 415]. The function is based on the widely known Rosenbrock function--see, for example, Li and Sun [12, p. 415] and Schittkowski [16, Test Problems 294-299]. Specifically, the test example here is as follows:
Minimize
15000-1
SIGMA 100* ( X(i+1) - X(i)^2 )^2 + ( 1-X(i) )^2
i=1
subject to
-5 <= X(i) <= 5, X(i) integer, i=1, 2, 3,..., 15000.
For a computer program involving continuous variables and integer variables, see Wong [19].
The following computer program uses the IBM Personal BASIC Compiler--through A:\>bascom and A:\>link--Copyright IBM Corp 1982 Version 1.00/Copyright Microsoft.

This BASIC computer program was run with the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler, Version 1.00. See the BASIC manual [12, page iii, Preface]. Copied by hand from the screen, the computer program's complete output through JJJJ=-31995 is shown below:
1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1
0 -32000
1 1 1 1 1

Above there is no rounding by hand; it is just straight copying by hand from the screen.
M=0 is optimal. See Li and Sun [12, p. 415].
Of the 15000 A's, only the 15 A's of line 1771 through line 1774 are shown above.
On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM, and the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler, Copyright IBM Corp 1982 Version 1.00/Copyright Microsoft, Inc. 1982, the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through JJJJ=-31995 was 17 hours.
