Contributions summary:Han contributed to the development of a mixed-integer conic solver, adding files related to mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) and its setup and cleanup functionalities. Their work involved modifying input parameters, creating and managing nodes, and integrating the mixed-integer module with the existing ECOS solver. The user also refactored the MI wrapper, optimizing memory usage and removing dynamic allocation, improving the robustness of the code.
