MIPABSCUTOFF

Description
Branch and Bound: If the user knows that they are interested only in values of the objective function which are better than some value, this can be assigned to MIPABSCUTOFF. This allows the Optimizer to ignore solving any nodes which may yield worse objective values, saving solution time. When a MIP solution is found a new cut off value is calculated and the value can be obtained from the CURRMIPCUTOFF attribute. The value of CURRMIPCUTOFF is calculated using the MIPRELCUTOFF and MIPADDCUTOFF controls.
Type
Double
Topic area
Default value
1.0E+40 (for minimization problems); -1.0E+40 (for maximization problems).
Note
MIPABSCUTOFF can also be used to stop the dual algorithm.
Note
Any value outside the interval [-1e40,1e40] will be clipped to that interval.
