**di**viding **rect**angles, and the algorithms that stem from it.
for a description and history of these methods, please refer to
["The DIRECT algorithm: 25 years Later."](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10898-020-00952-6)
i don't plan on implementing the original DIRECT algorithm itself,
but i've heard through the grapevine that

[scipy](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/optimize.html#global-optimization)
is getting its own DIRECT implementation soon.
`birect.py` is a modification of DIRECT that divides hyper-rectangles

but it is simpler to implement, specially when K is fixed to a constant.
curiously, SOO is not covered in the aforementioned article, so please refer to
