Figure 4.56: The Limits Tab in XPRESS Options Dialog Box

Time Limits

The Time Limits option allows you to specify the maximum time for the optimization.

LP Iteration Limit

The LP Iteration Limit option specifies iteration limit for the simplex algorithm, summed up over all nodes. The default value is 2147483654.

Part. Pricing Cand. List Sizing

Partial pricing candidate list sizing parameter. The default value is 1.0.

Barrier Iteration Limit

The Barrier Iteration Limit option specifies the maximum number of Newton Barrier iterations. The default value is 200.

Barrier Memory Limit

Barrier Memory Limit specifies the amount of memory in megabytes to be used by the barrier algorithm. The default of Automatic indicates the memory should be determined automatically. The Manual option allows you to enter the memory amount in MB.

Barrier Cache Limit

Barrier Cache Limit specifies the amount of memory in kilobytes to be used by the barrier algorithm. The default setting Automatic indicates the memory should be determined automatically, if possible (if not, a value of 512 KB is assumed). The Manual option allows you to enter the memory amount in KB.

MIP Solutions limit

Maximum number of integer solutions to find. Default is 0, which means no limit.

Node limit

Maximum number of nodes in Branch and Bound search. Default is 100000000.
