Selection

Range

The settings listed below

Default

Automatic

The option controls the branch variable selection strategy. The default setting makes an automatic choice, depending on problem characteristics. Possible values are:

• Automatic

• Pseudo reduced cost branching

• Pseudo shadow price branching

• Maximum infeasibility branching

• Strong branching

Strong branching causes variable selection based on partially solving a number of subproblems which tentative branches to see which branch is the most promising. This strategy can be effective on large, difficult MIP problems.
