/** computes a facet of the convex or concave envelope of a vertex polyhedral function
 *
 * If \f$ f(x) \f$ is vertex-polyhedral, then \f$ g \f$ is a convex underestimator if and only if
 * \f$ g(v^i) \leq f(v^i), \forall i \f$, where \f$ \{ v^i \}_{i = 1}^{2^n} \subseteq \mathbb R^n \f$ are the vertices
 * of the domain of \f$ x \f$, \f$ [\ell,u] \f$. Hence, we can compute a linear underestimator by solving the following
 * LP (we don't necessarily get a facet of the convex envelope, see below):
 *
 * \f{align*}{
 *              \max \, & \alpha^T x^* + \beta \\
 *     s.t. \; & \alpha^T v^i + \beta \le f(v^i), \, \forall i = 1, \ldots, 2^n
 * \f}
 *
 * In principle, one would need to update the LP whenever the domain changes. However, \f$ [\ell,u] = T([0, 1]^n) \f$,
 * where \f$ T \f$ is an affine linear invertible transformation given by \f$ T(y)_i = (u_i - \ell_i) y_i + \ell_i \f$.
 * Working with the change of variables \f$ x = T(y) \f$ allows us to keep the constraints of the LP, even if the domain
 * changes. Indeed, after the change of variables, the problem is: find an affine underestimator \f$ g \f$ such that \f$
 * g(T(y)) \le f(T(y)) \f$, for all \f$ y \in [0, 1]^n \f$. Now \f$ f(T(y)) \f$ is componentwise affine, but still
 * satisfies that \f$ g \f$ is a valid underestimator if and only if \f$ g(T(u)) \leq f(T(u)), \forall u \in \{0, 1\}^n
 * \f$. So we now look for \f$ \bar g(y) := g(T(y)) = g(((u_i - \ell_i) y_i + \ell_i)_i) = \bar \alpha^T y + \bar \beta
 * \f$, where \f$ \bar \alpha_i = (u_i - \ell_i) \alpha_i \f$ and \f$ \bar \beta = \sum_i \alpha_i \ell_i + \beta \f$. So
 * we find \f$ \bar g \f$ by solving the LP:
 *
 * \f{align*}{
 *              \max \, & \bar \alpha^T T^{-1}(x^*) + \bar \beta \\
 *     s.t. \; & \bar \alpha^T u + \bar \beta \le f(T(u)), \, \forall u \in \{0, 1\}^n
 * \f}
 *
 * and recover \f$ g \f$ by calculating \f$ \bar \alpha_i = (u_i - \ell_i) \alpha_i, \bar \beta = \sum_i \alpha_i \ell_i +
 * \beta \f$. Notice that \f$ f(T(u^i)) = f(v^i) \f$ so the right hand side doesn't change after the change of variables.
 *
 * Furthermore, the LP has more constraints than variables, so we solve its dual:
 * \f{align*}{
 *              \min \, & \sum_i \lambda_i f(v^i) \\
 *     s.t. \; & \sum_i \lambda_i u^i = T^{-1}(x^*) \\
 *             & \sum_i \lambda_i = 1 \\
 *             & \forall i, \, \lambda_i \geq 0
 * \f}
 *
 * In case we look for an overestimate, we do exactly the same, but have to maximize in the dual LP instead
 * of minimize.
 *
 * #### Technical and implementation details
 * -# \f$ U \f$ has exponentially many variables, so we only apply this separator for \f$n\f$ &le; \ref SCIP_MAXVERTEXPOLYDIM.
 * -# If the bounds are not finite, there is no underestimator. Also, \f$ T^{-1}(x^*) \f$ must be in the domain,
 * otherwise the dual is infeasible.
 * -# After a facet is computed, we check whether it is a valid facet (i.e. we check \f$ \alpha^T v + \beta \le f(v) \f$
 *  for every vertex \f$ v \f$). If we find a violation of at most ADJUSTFACETFACTOR * SCIPlpfeastol(), then we weaken \f$
 *  \beta \f$ by this amount, otherwise, we discard the cut.
 * -# If a variable is fixed within tolerances, we replace it with its value and compute the facet of the remaining
 * expression. Note that since we are checking the cut for validity, this will never produce wrong result.
 * -# If \f$ x^* \f$ is in the boundary of the domain, then the LP has infinitely many solutions, some of which might
 * have very bad numerical properties. For this reason, we perturb \f$ x^* \f$ to be in the interior of the region.
 * Furthermore, for some interior points, there might also be infinitely many solutions (e.g. for \f$ x y \f$ in \f$
 * [0,1]^2 \f$ any point \f$ (x^*, y^*) \f$ such that \f$ y^* = 1 - x^* \f$ has infinitely many solutions). For this
 * reason, we perturb any given \f$ x^* \f$. The idea is to try to get a facet of the convex/concave envelope. This only
 * happens when the solution has \f$ n + 1 \f$ non zero \f$ \lambda \f$'s (i.e. the primal has a unique solution).
 * -# We need to compute \f$ f(v^i) \f$ for every vertex of \f$ [\ell,u] \f$. A vertex is encoded by a number between 0
 * and \f$ 2^n - 1 \f$, via its binary representation (0 bit is lower bound, 1 bit is upper bound), so we can compute
 * all these values by iterating between 0 and \f$ 2^n - 1 \f$.
 * -# To check that the computed cut is valid we do the following: we use a gray code to loop over the vertices
 * of the box domain w.r.t. unfixed variables in order to evaluate the underestimator. To ensure the validity of the
 * underestimator, we check whether \f$ \alpha v^i + \beta \le f(v^i) \f$ for every vertex \f$ v^i \f$ and adjust
 * \f$ \beta \f$ if the maximal violation is small.
 *
 * @todo the solution is a facet if all variables of the primal have positive reduced costs (i.e. the solution is
 * unique). In the dual, this means that there are \f$ n + 1 \f$ variables with positive value. Can we use this or some
 * other information to handle any of both cases (point in the boundary or point in the intersection of polytopes
 * defining different pieces of the convex envelope)? In the case where the point is in the boundary, can we use that
 * information to maybe solve another to find a facet? How do the polytopes defining the pieces where the convex
 * envelope is linear looks like, i.e, given a point in the interior of a facet of the domain, does the midpoint of the
 * segment joining \f$ x^* \f$ with the center of the domain, always belongs to the interior of one of those polytopes?
