 * The branching value is selected as in SCIPtreeBranchVar().
 * If n is 2 or the variables local domain is too small for a branching into n pieces, SCIPtreeBranchVar() is called.
 * The parameters minwidth and widthfactor determine the domain width of the branching variable in the child nodes.
 * If n is odd, one child with domain width 'width' and having the branching value in the middle is created.
 * Otherwise, two children with domain width 'width' and being left and right of the branching value are created.
 * Next further nodes to the left and right are created, where width is multiplied by widthfactor with increasing distance from the first nodes.
 * The initial width is calculated such that n/2 nodes are created to the left and to the right of the branching value.
 * If this value is below minwidth, the initial width is set to minwidth, which may result in creating less than n nodes.
 *
 * Giving a large value for widthfactor results in creating children with small domain when close to the branching value
 * and large domain when closer to the current variable bounds. That is, setting widthfactor to a very large value and n to 3
 * results in a ternary branching where the branching variable is mostly fixed in the middle child.
 * Setting widthfactor to 1.0 results in children where the branching variable always has the same domain width
 * (except for one child if the branching value is not in the middle).
