Hi everyone,
I am struggling a bit with the MIPgap interpretation of a minimization problem. I am trying to minimize the total wastage space inside a container.
My questions are as follows:
-
The absolute gap is absmipgap=5.1717e+10 and my objective value is objVal = 2.45542e+10. Does this mean that if an optimal solution can be found, the optimal solution will be (2.45542e+10 - 5.1717e+10), which does not make sense at all because it is negative. there should not exist negative volume.
-
How is it possible that the relative gap could be greater than 1? relmipgap=2.10624
Is there something that I am missing?
The solver I am using is HiGHS. Please kindly find a snippet of the returned result below.
HiGHS 1.5.1: cvt:bigM=16000
lim:time=300
mip:return_gap=2
Warning code 1 for call Highs_run(lp())
HiGHS 1.5.1: time limit
