/**@file   cons_orbitope.h
 * @ingroup CONSHDLRS
 * @brief  constraint handler for (partitioning/packing) orbitope constraints w.r.t. the full symmetric group
 * @author Timo Berthold
 * @author Marc Pfetsch
 *
 * This constraint handler can be used to handle symmetries in certain 0/1-programs. The principle
 * structure is that some variables can be ordered in matrix form, such that permuting columns does
 * not change the validity and objective function value of a solution. That is, the symmetry group
 * of the program contains the full symmetric group obtained by permuting the columns of this
 * matrix. The variables in each row have to be contained in set packing or partitioning
 * constraints.
 *
 * In more mathematical terms the structure has to be as follows: There are 0/1-variables
 * \f$x_{ij}\f$, \f$i \in \{1, \dots, p\}\f$, \f$j \in \{1, \dots, q\}\f$. The variables are coupled
 * through set packing or partitioning constraints:
 * \f[
 *    \sum_{j = 1}^q x_{ij} \leq 1  \quad \mbox{or} \quad \sum_{j = 1}^q x_{ij} = 1 \quad \mbox{for all }i = 1, \ldots, p.
 * \f]
 * Permuting columns of \f$x\f$ does not change the validity and objective function value of any feasible solution.
