Unified Branch-and-Bound Search for the Steiner Traveling Salesman Problem on Graphs of Convex Sets

We formalize the Steiner Traveling Salesman Problem (Steiner-TSP) on Graphs of Convex Sets (GCS), which seeks a minimum-cost closed trajectory through required convex sets while allowing optional transit vertices and revisits.
