Description

Controls the length of the candidate list when CPLEX uses strong branching as the way to select variables. For more detail about that parameter, see MIP variable selection strategy:

  • VarSel in the C++, Java, or .NET API;

  • CPX_PARAM_VARSEL in the C API;

  • set mip strategy variableselect 3 in the Interactive Optimizer.

Values

Any positive number; default: 10.
