Cplex log: number of integer variables

Sometimes progress logs pose some interesting questions. In the Cplex log below we solve a problem with 2016 binary variables (after presolving). However the progress log seems to indicate that when we start 2036 of them are integer infeasible.

  1. Do you also know what generals and indicators are?

  2. Yes: generals are general integer variables, and indicators are somewhat special to Cplex; they can be used to model implications. The Cplex documentation contains more information.
