The following information about the status of the branch-and-bound algorithm is printed in the node log:
indicates the sequence number of the current node in the search tree.
indicates the current number of active nodes in the branch-and-bound tree.
indicates the number of feasible solutions found so far.
indicates the best upper bound (assuming minimization) found so far.
indicates the best lower bound (assuming minimization) found so far.
indicates the relative gap between BestInteger and BestBound, displayed as a percentage. If the relative gap is larger than 1,000, then the absolute gap is displayed. If no active nodes remain, the value of Gap is 0.
indicates the elapsed real time.
The LOGFREQ= option can be used to control the amount of information printed in the node log. By default a new entry is included in the log at the first node, at the last node, and at 100-node intervals. A new entry is also included each time a better integer solution is found. The LOGFREQ= option enables you to change the interval between entries in the node log. Figure 7.3 shows a sample node log.
