18  * @brief pseudo costs branching rule
19  * @author Tobias Achterberg
20  *
21  * The pseudo costs branching rule selects the branching variable with respect to the so-called pseudo costs
22  * of the variables. Pseudo costs measure the average gain per unit in the objective function when the variable
23  * was branched on upwards or downwards, resp. The required information is updated at every node of
24  * the solving process.
25  *
26  * The selected variable maximizes the expected gain of the dual bound in the created subtree.
27  *
28  * For a more mathematical description and a comparison between the pseudo costs branching rule
29  * and other branching rules in SCIP, we refer to
