Dear Shen,<br class="">
<br class="">
don't worry, nothing went wrong, this is similar to the behavior I
observed.<br class="">
<br class="">
Note that the VRP example is just a very basic example for how a
pricer can be implemented. It does not focus on providing good
performance since this would complicate the code. If you want to
implement a branch-and-price code, I would always recommend to look
at the binpacking example or the coloring application. These two
provide a better overview of what is normally needed for
branch-and-price code, including problem data and a dedicated
branching rule.<br class="">
<br class="">
Best regards,<br class="">
Gerald<br class="">

<div class="">I found it surprising that it took 428 seconds
to solve this instance, which is typically solved within
fractions of a second. Is this is similar to the behaviour
you have observed? If not, any pointers to where I may have
gone wrong would be greatly appreciated!</div>
