This model implements various forms of cut-and-branch and branch-and-cut algorithms. In its simplest form (looping over LP solving) it illustrates the following features:

• adding new constraints and resolving the LP-problem (cut-and-branch)
• basis in- and output
• if statement
• repeat-until statement
• procedure

The model els.mos also implements a configurable cutting plane algorithm:

• defining the cut manager node callback function,
• defining and adding cuts during the MIP search (branch-and-cut), and
• using run-time parameters to configure the solution algorithm.

The version elsglobal.mos shows how to implement global cuts. And the model version elscb.mos defines additional callbacks for extended logging and user stopping criteria based on the MIP gap.

Another implementation (main model: runels.mos, submodel: elsp.mos) parallelizes the execution of several model instances, showing the following features:

• parallel execution of submodels
• communication between different models (for bound updates on the objective function)
• sending and receiving events
• stopping submodels

The fourth implementation (main model: runelsd.mos, submodel: elsd.mos) is an extension of the parallel version in which the solve of each submodels are distributed to various computing nodes.
