<p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">I am implementing BPC using SCIP. Is it possible that during branching, I do not create any branch but only add variables and then start column generation again? My problem is that during
my branching</span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">, it could be possible that there are still fractional variables but no other possible branching condition is found, then what I would like to do is for example fix the
current fractional variables to 0 and then add a new variable that is a combination of those fractional variables. After that instead of creating new child nodes, I would like to run column generation. However, I don't know how to signal scip to do that. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I
have tried to return branching with result </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">SCIP_DIDNOTRUN but then SCIP will continue with variable branching.</span></span></p>
