Overview (User's Manual)

This manual lists all methods and data types of the public API. Internal methods of SCIP are not accessible. Documentation of the internal methods can be found in the Developer's Manual.

What is SCIP?

SCIP is a framework to solve constraint integer programs (CIPs). In particular,

• SCIP is a branch-and-cut-and-price framework,
• incorporates a full-scale mixed integer programming (MIP) solver, and
• incorporates a full-scale mixed integer quadratically constrained programming (MIQCP) solver.

See the web site of SCIP for more information about licensing and to download SCIP.

SCIP is developed together with TU Braunschweig and University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (Chair of EDOM) and has more than 450,000 lines of C code.
