ReducedTol

The optimal or reduced cost tolerance. The simplex method looks for a variable to enter the basis that has a negative reduced cost. Decision variables whose reduced cost is less than the negative of this tolerance are candidates for entering the basis during the simplex search.

Default: 10-5

Allowed range: 10-9 to 10-4

PivotTol

During the simplex algorithm, elements in the solution matrix must have an absolute value greater than this value to be candidates for pivoting.

Default: 10-5

Allowed range: 10-9 to 10-4

Precision

This value specifies how closely the calculated values on the left-hand side of constraints must match the right-hand sides in order for the constraint to be satisfied. Because of the finite precision arithmetic, a left-hand side that would ideally evaluate to 7.0 might compute as 6.9999999. With a precision of 10-6, the constraint A1 >= 7 would be considered satisfied in this case.

Default: 10-6

Allowed range: 10-9 to 10-4
