Detailed Description

full strong LP branching rule

Author

Tobias Achterberg

The full strong branching rule applies strong branching to every fractional variable of the LP solution 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
