  Some information about the gap and other MIP basics can be found here.

  The question which gap is good enough to stop the code cannot be answered in general. A gap of 0 is obviously always good enough to stop the code, but the runtime might not be acceptable. If a larger gap is ok for you highly depends on your requirements. In many cases, the default settings might be ok, I guess.

  Best regards,
