Detailed Description

all variables full strong LP branching rule

Author

Gerald Gamrath

The all variables full strong branching rule applies strong branching to every non-fixed variable at the current node of the branch-and-bound search. The rule selects the candidate which will cause the highest gain of the dual bound in the created sub-tree among all branching variables.

For calculating the gain, a look-ahead is performed by solving the child node LPs which will result from branching on a variable.

For a more mathematical description and a comparison between the strong branching rule and other branching rules in SCIP, we refer to

SCIPselectVarPseudoStrongBranching()

SCIP_RETCODE SCIPselectVarPseudoStrongBranching	(	SCIP *	scip,
		SCIP_VAR **	pseudocands,
		SCIP_Bool *	skipdown,
		SCIP_Bool *	skipup,
		int	npseudocands,
		int	npriopseudocands,
		int *	bestpseudocand,

	)

Selects a variable from a set of candidates by strong branching

Returns

SCIP_OKAY is returned if everything worked. Otherwise a suitable error code is passed. See SCIP_RETCODE for a complete list of error codes.

Note

The variables in the lpcands array must have a fractional value in the current LP solution

Parameters

scip	original SCIP data structure
pseudocands	branching candidates
skipdown	should down branchings be skipped?
skipup	should up branchings be skipped?
npseudocands	number of branching candidates
npriopseudocands	number of priority branching candidates
bestpseudocand	best candidate for branching
bestdown	objective value of the down branch for bestcand
bestup	objective value of the up branch for bestcand
bestscore	score for bestcand
bestdownvalid	is bestdown a valid dual bound for the down branch?
bestupvalid	is bestup a valid dual bound for the up branch?
provedbound	proved dual bound for current subtree
result	result pointer
