SBSELECT

Before strong branching is applied on a node of the branch and bound tree, a list of candidates is selected among the infeasible global entities. These entities are then evaluated based on the local LP solution and prioritized. Strong branching will then be applied to the SBBEST candidates. The evaluation is potentially expensive and for some problems it might improve performance if the size of the candidate list is reduced.

Description	The size of the candidate list of global entities for strong branching.
Type	Integer
Default value	-1 — determined automatically.
