MIP Heuristic Local Search

Type

Selection

Range

The settings listed below

Default

Automatic

This option specifies whether or not to enable the MIP local search heuristic. Possible values are:

  • Automatic

  • Off

  • On

Setting ‘Automatic’ lets Knitro determine automatically from MIP Heuristic Strategy . Setting ‘Off’ means that local search heuristic is not applied.
