Gurobi theory
OngoingGood day to all, I am posting this here since my search through support pages didn't return much. I am writing a thesis and Gurobi academic licence is used for some of the work done. I want to write a chapter on the design of Gurobi and explain how it works. I haven't managed to find detailed explanation of the algorithms used or anything that could be structured well to be paraphrased and rewritten into a thesis. Is there some technical text somewhere which I could have a look of? Thank you very much.

Hey there,
I highly suggest you checking their official documentation and academic papers because they usually provide comprehensive information that can be useful for your thesis and you might also explore research papers on optimization algorithms for additional perspectives. If needed, contacting Gurobi support directly could also help.

Hi Nikola,
I would suggest it is kept general to MIP solvers and MIP theory, and not specifically Gurobi, this is fairly typical in a thesis. You will find inspiration in other theses, such as Tobias' (our VP of R&D):

Hi Riley, I was hoping that I don't have to go too much into the details since Gurobi is used only as a tool in my thesis, not an object of research itself. Therefor I would be hoping there is a technical manual which in short explains the output of Gurobi which I get in my Python console when I run the code. Just the steps themselves. Is there such a manual or official documentations which explain the textual output running Gurobi?
