/**@file   cons_storeGraph.c
 * @brief  constraint handler for storing the graph at each node of the tree
 * @author Gerald Gamrath
 *
 * This file implements the constraints that are used for the branching in the coloring algorithm.
 *
 * For each node in the branch-and-bound tree, a constraint of this type is created, which stores
 * all restrictions related to that branch-and-bound node.
 *
 * First of all, it stores the type of the constraint ("same" or "differ", the root has type root)
 * and the two nodes in the graph on which this restriction is applied.  When the branch-and-bound
 * node corresponding to the constraint is examined for the first time, the constraint creates a
 * graph that takes into account all the restrictions, which are active at this node.
 * At the root, this is the original (preprocessed) graph.  At any other branch-and-bound node, it
 * takes the graph of the constraint related to the branch-and-bound parent node of the current node and
 * modifies it so that all restrictions up to this node are respected.  Since the graph in the
 * branch-and-bound parent respects all restrictions on the path to that node, only the last
 * requirement, the one saved at the current branch-and-bound node, must be added.
 * This is done as follows: Adding a DIFFER(v,w) constraint is easy, since it suffices to add
 * an edge between v and w. For a SAME(v,w) constraint, the original idea is to collapse the nodes v
 * and w into one single vertex. Since this is not possible in the tclique-graph data structure, we
 * introduce new edges in the graph, so that v and w have the same neighborhood.  Hence, in the
 * pricing routine, each new stable set will either contain both nodes or none of them, since we
 * create (inclusion-) maximal sets.
 *
 * This does of course not hold for sets created in a higher level of the branch-and-bound tree or
 * in another subtree. In order to forbid all of these sets, which do not fulfill the current
 * restrictions, a propagation is started when the node is entered the first time and repeated
 * later, if the node is reentered after the creation of new variables in another subtree. The
 * propagation simply fixes  all variables to 0 which represent a stable set that does not
 * fulfill the restriction at the current node.
 *
 * The information about all fusions of nodes (caused by the SAME() operation) is stored, so that the nodes
 * constituting a union can be accessed easily. Each union has a representative and a set of nodes, whereas
 * each node knows the representative of the union it belongs to. At the beginning, each node forms its own
 * union and therefore each node also represents this union, consisting of only this node.  Later on, some
 * nodes represent unions of several nodes, while other nodes are part of a union which they do not represent,
 * so they have another node as representative. The representatives of the nodes are returned by the methods
 * COLORconsGetRepresentative() / COLORconsGetRepresentatives(), the union represented by a node is returned
 * by COLORconsGetUnion(), the array of unions, indexed by the representing node, is returned by
 * COLORconsGetUnions().
