  • I have always been fascinated by branching and by the role it plays in Branch and Cut (B&C) methods. Indeed, according to recent experiments, the branching rule in state-of-the-art solvers is even more important than the cutting plane procedures, in the sense that using a naïve branching rule (instead of the sophisticated default one) deteriorates the solvers’s performance even more than the removal of cuts.
