In the world of Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP), the “gap”—the distance between our incumbent solution and the dual bound—remains the gold standard. This mathematical rigor is precisely why we use MIP: it provides a proven certificate of quality that other heuristic methods cannot match. However, while a solution’s proof of optimality is crucial, the path to that solution is equally important.
