 *  the validation includes
 *
 *  - checking the feasibility of the incumbent solution in the original problem (using SCIPcheckSolOrig())
 *
 *  - checking if the objective bounds computed by SCIP agree with external primal and dual reference bounds.
 *
 *  All external reference bounds the original problem space and the original objective sense.

 *  For infeasible problems, +/-SCIPinfinity() should be passed as reference bounds depending on the objective sense
