Ways to force bintprog

Hi everybody! I'm a newbie to MATLAB and Integer Programming problems so, I'm asking you if there's a way to force BINTPROG function to pass mandatorily through a node even if passing through this node we won't achieve the optimal solution.

Thanks for your attention, A.B.

If I understand you correctly, you want to force bintprog to take a branch-and-bound step that you specify.

If this is your desire, then I am afraid that the answer is no, you have no control over the internal branch-and-bound steps that bintprog takes.

I do not understand why you want to do this. If you are looking for a better or faster answer, there are other options in bintprog that you can control.
