Detailed Description

least infeasible LP branching rule

Author

Tobias Achterberg

The least infeasible branching rule selects a candidate variable $j$ with fractional solution value $\hat{x}_j$ which maximizes

$$\max \left\{ \lceil \hat{x}_j \rceil - \hat{x}_j, \hat{x}_j - \lfloor \hat{x}_j \rfloor \right\}.$$

i. e., a variable which already is closest to being integral among all branching candidates.

The least infeasible rule and many other branching rules of SCIP are explained and compared in
