Not that large MILP model took ages to obtain the optimal results
回答済み
Hi, Sir or Madam,
excuse me.
I was working on a MILP design&UC model(bi-level MILP), which is not that large, but now it took ages to obtain the optimal results(3-4 days), too long to wait, the MIPgap, best bound and incumbent all moved slowly. I have tried several methods based on a guideline online, like:
1. check model formulation, but from my knowledge, it is good.
2. parameters tuning, tried several parameters combination:
ops.gurobi.MIPGap = 0.02;
ops.gurobi.Threads = 4;
ops.gurobi.NormAdjust = 1;
ops.gurobi.Cuts = 2;
ops.gurobi.MIPFocus = 1;
ops.gurobi.Heuristics = 0.1;
ops.gurobi.Method = 3;
The log was shown as following, could you please help look at it and give some suggestions?
Thanks a lot, and looking forward to your reply.

When is the first feasible solution found? Can you post the 5 log lines before and the 5 lines after this event?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am sorry, I don't see the issue in the log. It looks very different from the log of the original post.
However, this is quite a big model with 3 million variables 0.5 million constraints, and almost 10 million nonzeros. Even after presolve there are almost 1 million nonzeros left over. Gurobi is able to reduce the MIP gap to less than 1.5% in less than 30 minutes. This does not sound too bad to me.
- What are your time limit and your target MIP gap?
- Have you tried to do some parameter tuning on this model?
Best,
Sonja

Dear Dr. Sonja,
Thanks for your reply, I am sorry for using an old post to ask about a similar issue.
for your questions:
- What are your time limit and your target MIP gap? I use certain termination criteria with soft limit and hard time with 2% gap and 5% gap.
- Have you tried to do some parameter tuning on this model? Yes, I have tried tuning the model, and that's why I am asking as MIP focus, improve start node, etc. did not reflect any changes on the model which is strange for me as I used to improve my models using tuning parameters.
Any advice regarding improving and decreasing the solution time?

Hi,
I would try each of the following parameters on its own first
MIPFocus=1
Presolve=2
Method=2
Cuts=1
CutPasses=3to see if there is any improvement in the runtime. I would then probably combine a few of those parameters. You can also try to run the parameter tuning tool for a while. Maybe it comes up with a good idea.
Best regards,
Sonja
