[Coin-lpsolver] Questions about CBC settings

[Vishnu Erramilli]

Hi,

I have been using CBC to solve some problems. I had some doubts regarding
some settings:

1)When I use CLP as the LP solver in CBC, How do I make the LP solver use
the dual (simplex) instead of the primal?

2)Can I assign priorities to each variable and use the priorities for
branching? For e.g., instruct the algorithm to branch on variables with
highest priority first and then in decreasing order onwards.

I would be really thankful if you could answer these questions.

Thanks,

Vishnu
