# BRANCHCHOICE

Description | Once a MIP entity has been selected for branching, this control determines which of the branches is solved first.
Type | Integer
Topic area | Branching
Values |
0 | Minimum estimate branch first.
1 | Maximum estimate branch first.
2 | If an incumbent solution exists, solve the branch satisfied by that solution first. Otherwise solve the minimum estimate branch first (option 0).
3 | Solve first the branch that forces the value of the branching variable to move farther away from the value it had at the root node. If the branching entity is not a simple variable, solve the minimum estimate branch first (option 0).
Default value | 0
Affects routines | XPRSmipoptimize ( MIPOPTIMIZE).
Category | Control
