/**@file   sepa_aggregation.c
 * @brief  flow cover and complemented mixed integer rounding cuts separator (Marchand's version)
 * @author Robert Lion Gottwald
 * @author Kati Wolter
 * @author Tobias Achterberg
 *
 * For an overview see:
 *
 * Marchand, H., & Wolsey, L. A. (2001).@n
 * Aggregation and mixed integer rounding to solve MIPs.@n
 * Operations research, 49(3), 363-371.
 *
 * Some remarks:
 * - In general, continuous variables are less prefered than integer variables, since their cut
 *   coefficient is worse.
 * - We seek for aggregations that project out continuous variables that are far away from their bound,
 *   since if it is at its bound then it doesn't contribute to the violation
 * - These aggregations are also useful for the flowcover separation, so after building an aggregation
 *   we try to generate a MIR cut and a flowcover cut.
 * - We only keep the best cut.
