| Description: | Continue producing solutions up to Solution Count or when Solution Quality falls to this level |
This option is supplementary to Solution Count. It sets a limit on the quality of solutions in the Solution Hierarchy, terminating the solution search when this quality measure it reached. To measure the quality of solution (i) relative to the optimal solution (i = 0) the following formula is used:
Quality (%) = 100 × [1 - ( Objectivei - Objective0 ) / Objective0]The following is an example of the output of the solution hierarchy algorithm showing the solution number, objective value and quality measure. The Solution Quality is set to 98%:
