[SCIP] Question about Column Generation !

[Gerald Gamrath]

Dear Abdelkader,

in column generation, we are looking for improving variables, i.e. 
variables with negative reduced cost (for minimization problems) which 
the Simplex algorithm would enter into the basis. However, in the 
pricing routine of column generation, we are only adding those variables 
to the problem and are not adding them to the basis. After those 
variables were added, the RMP will be re-optimized, and in this course, 
the Simplex algorithm (if used) will decide on a column to enter the 
basis and one to leave it (in each iteration, it might need multiple 
ones to reach optimality again).

Best,
Gerald
