So, if the LP for the AC calculation is presolved, the solution obtained may well have integer variables at bounds.
This is not just a "bad" interior point, it can lead to incorrect deductions about the feasible values of integer variables, and incorrect optimal solutions of the MIP being claimed. This was behind the errors observed with
egout
.All that's come out of this is that when no basis exists, a basis is only constructed from an existing solution when it might be useful - ie when the problem is not a MIP, or a MIP relaxation is being solved.
