Benders Worker Algorithm

Type : Selection

Range : The settings listed below

Default : Automatic

This option specifies which algorithm CPLEX should apply to solve subproblems of a Benders decomposition. At the default setting, CPLEX decides which method will be used. Possible values are:

• Automatic

• Primal simplex

• Dual simplex

• Network simplex

• Barrier

• Sifting

Given a formulation of a problem, CPLEX can decompose the model into a single master and possibly multiple subproblems (the worker or workers). This option designates the algorithm that CPLEX applies to solve the workers.
