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 .
