“…Firstly, it must be pointed out that the algorithms in [11,18,19,22,23,34,36,46,47] are all branch-and-bound algorithms, and the branching operations of the algorithms in [11,18,34,46] occur in the n-dimensional space where the decision variables are located. Moreover, two wellknown global optimization solvers, SCIP and BARON, which are employed to solve mixed integer (linear or nonlinear) programming problems, are also mainly integrated on the branchand-bound algorithm framework that performs branching operations in n-dimensional space.…”
