Good morning,

I’m trying to solve a MIP problem in Knitro, and I’m only interested in finding a feasible integer solution. I looked at the documentation, and set the option “mip_terminate” has to value 1, which is described in the documentation as "1 (feasible) Terminate at first integer feasible point.”. But when I solve the problem, Knitro does not terminate even when it already has found a feasible point. It only finishes when it reaches the node or time limit. Am I missing something here? I attach the log.

Sincerely,
Ignacio

Hi Ignacio,

The option mip_terminate is not working in Knitro 13.2. This has been fixed in Knitro 14.0. With Knitro 13.2, a workaround is to use the mip_opt_gap_rel option instead.

Best,

Florian
