Benders decomposition: sequential solving of several different submodels

Description
Benders decomposition is a method for solving large MIP problems. The model implementation shows the following features:
  • iterative sequence of concurrent solving of a set of subproblems,
  • data exchange between several models via shared memory, and
  • coordination of several models via events.
An implementation using a single model is also presented (benders_single.mos).

Further explanation of this example: Xpress Whitepaper 'Multiple models and parallel solving with Mosel', Section 'Benders decomposition: working with several different submodels'.
