 *      s.t.  & \sum_i \lambda_i v_i = x\\

 *  where f is an edge concave function, \f$x\f$ in \f$[l,u]\f$ is a solution of the current relaxation, and \f$v_i\f$ are the vertices
 *  of \f$[l,u]\f$; the method transforms the problem to the domain \f$[0,1]^n\f$, computes a facet, and transforms this facet to the
 *  original space; the dual solution of the LP above are the coefficients of the facet
 *
 *  The complete algorithm works as follows:
 *
 *  -# compute f(v_i) for each corner v_i of [l,u]
 *  -# set up the described LP for the transformed space
 *  -# solve the LP and store the resulting facet for the transformed space
 *  -# transform the facet to original space
 *  -# adjust and check facet with the algorithm of Rikun et al.
