MIP Heuristic

Type

Selection

Range

The settings listed below

Default

Automatic

This option specifies which MIP heuristic search approach to apply to try to find an initial integer feasible point. Possible values are:

• Automatic

• None

• Not used

• Feasibility pump

• MPEC

• Diving

Setting ‘None’ disables heuristic search. Setting ‘MPEC’ implies that the heuristic is applied based on the MPEC formulation.

If a heuristic search procedure is enabled, the maximum number of iterations before starting the branch and bound procedure is specified by the option MIP Heuristic Iteration Limit .

Note: This option has been deprecated since Knitro version 12.4. As alternatives, you can use MIP Heuristic Diving , MIP Heuristic Feasibility Pump , MIP Heuristic MPEC , and MIP Heuristic Strategy .
