Cutoff Test
[valid]=cutoff(Bmin,zcap,flag,Bvermin)
Minimum Bernstein Coefficient Value
Global Minimum Estimate
Number of Infeasible Boxes discarded
Minimum Bernstein Coefficient Value at Vertices
Indicates boxes feasible (valid=1) or boxes infeasible (valid=0)
This is an Accelerator Algorithm. Infeasible boxes removed during the process.
