Comments on the Knitro 6.0 with Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) features

[Henry Chan]

Hi, Richard,

I would like to suggest the following comments on the Knitro version
6.0 with Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) features. This is
because the rapid development of branching strategies and bound
reduction/tightening techniques for MINLP.

1. Branching rules option
a. Pseudo-cost branching strategies
b. Reduced-cost branching strategies

2. Bound reduction/tightening option
a. Feasibility pump reduction/tightening techniques
b. Reduced-cost reduction/tightening techniques

3. Parallelization issues using OpenMP
a. branching strategies
b. reduction/tightening techniques

Thanks for your kind attention.

Best regards,
Henry Kar Ming Chan
