Setting a known upperbound for a minimization problem

Hi,

I came across multiple posts that explained well on why setting a lower bound for a minimization problem (or upper bound for a maximization problem) will not necessarily help the run time. In my case, I want to set an upper bound value for a minimization problem. Will introducing it to the objective function create similar negative impacts, or will this be different?

Thanks

  Hi Tiankuo,

  That should be ok.  It sounds equivalent to our Cutoff parameter.
