MIP Focus

Type : Selection

Range : The settings listed below

Default : Balanced

The option controls the focus of the MIP solver. The default value tries to strike a balance between finding good feasible solutions and proving optimality. A value of ‘Feasibility’ shifts the focus towards finding feasible solutions. A value of ‘Optimality’ shifts the focus towards proving optimality. A value of ‘Best bound’ focuses almost entirely on moving the best objective bound. Possible values are:

  • Balanced

  • Feasibility

  • Optimality

  • Best bound
