Districting with LIZARD

Within the scope of the project "New Models, Algorithms, And Applications For Territory Design" we developed the C++ library of algorithms “LIZARD” (LIbrary of optimiZation AlgoRithms for Districting) to solve districting problems. In addition to the various solution algorithms, the library also contains a graphical frontend that is based on the library GTKMM. The source code (GPLv3) of our library can be found here. There, you can also find a zip file that contains a Windows executable, all runtime libraries required for GTKMM, and some exemplary problem instances.

This project was supported by grant NI 521/6-1 of the German Research Foundation (DFG).

The current version is LIZARD 3.0 BETA and available as download (with source code as well), please click here.
