 * @brief  Problem data for Stochastic Capacitated Facility Location problem
 * @author Stephen J. Maher
 *
 * This file handles the main problem data used in that project. For more details see \ref SCFLP_PROBLEMDATA page.
 *
 * @page SCFLP_SOLVEPROB Solving the deterministic equivalent
 *
 * The probdata_scflp.c is used to store the global problem data and build the monolithic MIP and decomposed problems.
 * First, the structure of the problem data is describe. This is followed by a description of how to solve the problem
 * directly using SCIP or using Benders' decomposition.
 *
 * @section SCFLP_PROBLEMDATA The global problem data
 *
 * The problem data is accessible in all plugins. The function SCIPgetProbData() returns the pointer to that structure.
 * We use this data structure to store all the information of the SCFLP. Since this structure is not visible in the
 * other plugins, we implemented setter and getter functions to access this data. The problem data structure
 * SCIP_ProbData is shown below.
 *
 * \code
 *  ** @brief Problem data which is accessible in all places
 *  *
 *  *   This problem data is used to store the input of the cap instance, all variables which are created, and all
 *  *   constraints. In addition, the probdata stores the data structures for the decomposed problem. This permits the
 *  *   use of Benders' decomposition to solve the stochastic program.
 *  *
 * struct SCIP_ProbData
 * {
 *    SCIP**                subproblems;        **< the Benders' decomposition subproblems * SCIP_VAR**
 *    SCIP_VAR**            facilityvars;       **< all variables representing facilities *
 *    SCIP_VAR***           subfacilityvars;    **< duplicates of the facility variables in the subproblems *
 *    SCIP_VAR****          customervars;       **< all variables representing the satisfaction of demand per scenario *
 *    SCIP_CONS***          capconss;           **< capacity constraints per facility per scenario *

 *    int                   nfacilities;        **< the number of facilities *
 *    int                   nscenarios;         **< the number of scenarios *
 *    SCIP_Bool             usebenders;         **< whether Benders' decomposition is used *
 * };
 * \endcode
 *
 * The function SCIPprobdataCreate() manages the creation of the SCFLP instance in SCIP. There are two types of
 * formulations that can be produced in this example. The first is the monolithic deterministic equivalent. The second
 * is the reformulated problem that decomposes the stochastic problem by scenarios. This alternative formulations is
 * solved using Benders' decomposition. Depending on the solution method, some members of SCIP_ProbData will be unused.
 * For example, subproblems and subfacilityvars are only used when Benders' decomposition is applied to solve the SCFLP.
 *
 * The probdata_scflp.c also provide interface methods to the global problem data. A list of all interface methods can be
 * found in probdata_scflp.h.
 *
 * @section SCFLP_DETEQUIV Directly solving the deterministic equivalent using SCIP
 *
 * Within probdata_scflp.c, both the monolithic determinstic equivalent or the decomposed problem can be built within
 * SCIP. The monolithic deterministic equivalent involve a since SCIP instances that is solved directly as a MIP. The
 * problem that is build in SCIP is given in \ref SCFLP_DETEQUIVMODEL.
 *
 * @section SCFLP_BENDERS Solving the SCFLP using Benders' decomposition
 *
 * The model that is used to build the decomposed problem is given in \ref SCFLP_BENDERSMODEL. In this example, the
 * default Benders' decomposition plugin is used to employ the Benders' decomposition framework, see
 * src/scip/benders_default.h. Before calling SCIPcreateBendersDefault() to invoke the Benders' decomposition framework,
 * the SCIP instances for the master problem and the subproblems must be created.
 *
 * The SCIP instance for the master problem includes only the first stage variables (the facility variables \f$x_{i}\f$)
 * and the first stage constraints. Note, the auxiliary variables are not added to the master problem by the user, nor
 * are any Benders' decomposition cuts.
 *
 * For each subproblem \f$s\f$, the SCIP instance is formulated with the second stage variables (the customer variables
 * \f$y^{s}_{ij}\f$) and the second stage constraints. Also, the first stage variables are created for each scenario.
 * These variables are copies of the master variables from the master SCIP instances and must be created by calling
 * SCIPcreateVarBasic() or SCIPcreateVar(). The master problem variable copies that are created in the subproblem SCIP
 * instances must have an objective coefficient of 0.0. This is inline with the classical application of Benders'
 * decomposition.
 *
 * IMPORTANT: the master variables that are created for the subproblem SCIP instances must have the same name as the
 * corresponding master variables in the master problem SCIP instance. This is because the mapping between the master
 * and subproblem variables relies on the variable names. This mapping is used for setting up the subproblems to
 * evaluate solutions from the master problem and generating Benders' cuts.
 *
 * Once the master and subproblem SCIP instances are created, the Benders' decomposition is invoked by calling the
 * interface function SCIPcreateBendersDefault(). The parameters for this function are a SCIP instance for the master
 * problem, an array of SCIP instances for the subproblems and the number of subproblems.
 *
 * The Benders' decomposition framework involves the use of constraint handlers within SCIP, src/scip/cons_benders.h and
 * src/scip/cons_benderslp.h. In order to solve the master problem by adding Benders' cuts, src/scip/cons_benders.h and
 * src/scip/cons_benderslp.h must be activated. This is done by setting the parameter "constraints/benders/active" and
 * "constraints/benderslp/active" to TRUE.
 *
 * NOTE: it is not necessary to activate src/scip/cons_benderslp.h. The purpose of this constraint handler is to
 * generate Benders' decomposition cut from solutions to the LP relaxation in the root node. These solutions are
 * fractional, since the enforcement priority of benderslp is higher than the integer constraint handler. The benderslp
 * constraint handler allows the user to employ the multi-phase algorithm of McDaniel and Devine (1977).
