Barrier's solution with NumBest status

  • 1.  Barrier's solution with NumBest status

    Posted Mon October 07, 2024 05:53 PM

    Hi experts,

    When we solve a LP model by barrier, sometimes it returns solution with NumBest status. My questions are:
    1. Is this solution feasible? 
    2. Can this solution be used as a feasible & non optimal solution? I know we can further do crossover, but it takes a long time usually, so wondering what risks we might take if we use this solution.

    The log of an example:
    ...
    The status is Unknown, the cplex status is NumBest.

    Thanks a lot!

    Best Regards,

    Sophia
