scale parameter for subMIPs

Decides how to scale the problem matrix when CPLEX solves a subMIP during MIP optimization.

Purpose

Parameter to scale the problem matrix when CPLEX solves a subMIP during MIP optimization

API Parameter Name
C CPXPARAM_MIP_SubMIP_Scale
C++ IloCplex::Param::MIP::SubMIP::Scale
Java IloCplex.Param.MIP.SubMIP.Scale
.NET Cplex.Param.MIP.SubMIP.Scale
OPL submipscaind
Python parameters.mip.submip.scale
Interactive mip submip scale
Identifier 2207

Description

This parameter determines how CPLEX should scale the matrix of a subMIP of a mixed integer program (MIP). For a definition of subMIP and for a list of conditions in which CPLEX solves a subMIP, see the topic What is a subMIP? in the CPLEX User's Manual.

Tip: This rarely used parameter is helpful only in rare "corner" cases where there is clear evidence that the default scaling value is really inappropriate for this particular problem.
See the documentation of these other subMIP parameters for further instructions that you can impose when CPLEX solves a subMIP:
Table 1. Values
Value Meaning
-1 No scaling
0 Equilibration scaling; default
1 More aggressive scaling
