Abstract

When solving large-scale integer programming (IP) models, there are the conflicting goals of solution quality and solution time. Solving realistic-size instances of many problems to optimality is still beyond the capability of state-of-the-art solvers. However, by reducing the size of the solution space, such as by fixing variables, good primal solutions frequently can be found quickly.
