 * @ingroup DEFPLUGINS_CONS
 * @brief Constraint handler for linear constraints in their most general form, \f$lhs <= a^T x <= rhs\f$.
 * @author Tobias Achterberg

 *
 *  Linear constraints are separated with a high priority, because they are easy
 *  to separate. Instead of using the global cut pool, the same effect can be
 *  implemented by adding linear constraints to the root node, such that they are
 *  separated each time, the linear constraints are separated. A constraint
 *  handler, which generates linear constraints in this way should have a lower
 *  separation priority than the linear constraint handler, and it should have a
 *  separation frequency that is a multiple of the frequency of the linear
 *  constraint handler. In this way, it can be avoided to separate the same cut
 *  twice, because if a separation run of the handler is always preceded by a
 *  separation of the linear constraints, the priorily added constraints are
 *  always satisfied.
 *
 *  Linear constraints are enforced and checked with a very low priority. Checking
 *  of (many) linear constraints is much more involved than checking the solution
 *  values for integrality. Because we are separating the linear constraints quite
 *  often, it is only necessary to enforce them for integral solutions. A constraint
 *  handler which generates pool cuts in its enforcing method should have an
 *  enforcing priority smaller than that of the linear constraint handler to avoid
 *  regenerating constraints which already exist.

/** extracts cliques of the constraint and adds them to SCIP
 *
 *  The following clique extraction mechanism are implemeneted
 *
 *  1. collect binary variables and sort them in non increasing order, then
 *
 *     a) if the constraint has a finite right hand side and the negative infinity counters for the minactivity are zero
 *        then add the variables as a clique for which all successive pairs of coefficients fullfill the following
 *        condition
 *
 *            minactivity + vals[i] + vals[i+1] > rhs
 *
 *        and also add the binary to binary implication also for non-successive variables for which the same argument
 *        holds
 *
 *            minactivity + vals[i] + vals[j] > rhs
 *
 *        e.g. 5.3 x1 + 3.6 x2 + 3.3 x3 + 2.1 x4 <= 5.5 (all x are binary) would lead to the clique (x1, x2, x3) and the
 *             binary to binary implications x1 = 1 => x4 = 0 and x2 = 1 => x4 = 0
 *
 *     b) if the constraint has a finite left hand side and the positive infinity counters for the maxactivity are zero
 *        then add the variables as a clique for which all successive pairs of coefficients fullfill the follwoing
 *        condition
 *
 *            maxactivity + vals[i] + vals[i-1] < lhs
 *
 *        and also add the binary to binary implication also for non-successive variables for which the same argument
 *        holds
 *
 *            maxactivity + vals[i] + vals[j] < lhs
 *
 *        e.g. you could multiply the above example by -1
 *
 *     c) the constraint has a finite right hand side and a finite minactivity then add the variables as a negated
 *        clique(clique on the negated variables) for which all successive pairs of coefficients fullfill the following
 *        condition
 *
 *            minactivity - vals[i] - vals[i-1] > rhs
 *
 *        and also add the binary to binary implication also for non-successive variables for which the
 *        same argument holds
 *
 *            minactivity - vals[i] - vals[j] > rhs
 *
 *        e.g. -4 x1 -3 x2 - 2 x3 + 2 x4 <= -4 would lead to the (negated) clique (~x1, ~x2) and the binary to binary
 *             implication x1 = 0 => x3 = 1
 *
 *     d) the constraint has a finite left hand side and a finite maxactivity then add the variables as a negated
 *        clique(clique on the negated variables) for which all successive pairs of coefficients fullfill the following
 *        condition
 *
 *            maxactivity - vals[i] - vals[i+1] < lhs
 *
 *        and also add the binary to binary implication also for non-successive variables for which the same argument
 *        holds
 *
 *            maxactivity - vals[i] - vals[j] < lhs
 *
 *        e.g. you could multiply the above example by -1
 *
 *  2. if the linear constraint represents a set-packing or set-partitioning constraint, the whole constraint is added
 *     as clique, (this part is done at the end of the method)

 *       - ai, lhs and rhs can be changed to have the same redundancy effect and the same results for
 *         xi fixed to its bounds, but with a reduced ai and tightened sides to tighten the LP relaxation
 *       - change coefficients:
 *           ai'  := max(lhs - minact, maxact - rhs)
 *           lhs' := lhs - (ai - ai')*li
 *           rhs' := rhs - (ai - ai')*ui
 * (ii) ai < 0:
 *      if  minact - ai >= lhs  and  maxact + ai <= rhs: (***)
 *       - a deviation from the upper/lower bound of xi would make the left/right hand side redundant
 *       - ai, lhs and rhs can be changed to have the same redundancy effect and the same results for

 *           rhs' := rhs - (ai - ai')*li
 *
 *  We further try to remove redundant variable from the constraint;
 *  Variables which fulfill conditions (**) or (***) are called surely non-redundant variables.
 *  A deviation of only one from their bound makes the lhs/rhs feasible (i.e., redundant), even if all other
 *  variables are set to their "worst" bound. If all variables which are not surely non-redundant cannot make
 *  the lhs/rhs redundant, even if they are set to their "best" bound, they can be removed from the constraint.
 *  E.g., for binary variables and an inequality x_1 +x_2 +10y_1 +10y_2 >= 5, setting either of the y_i to one
 *  suffices to fulfill the inequality, whereas the x_i do not contribute to feasibility and can be removed.
 *
 *  @todo use also some tightening procedures for (knapsack) constraints with non-integer coefficients, see
 *        cons_knapsack.c the following methods detectRedundantVars() and tightenWeights()

    * objective deterioration per activity unit. If x_k has no downlocks, is continuous, and can be reduced enough to
    * render the constraint feasible, and ALL other variables have only the one uplock installed by the current constraint,
    * we can reduce the upper bound of x_k such that the maxactivity equals the rhs and fix all other variables to their
    * upper bound.
    * Note that the others variables may have downlocks from other constraints, which we do not need to care
    * about since we are setting them to the highest possible value. Also, they may be integer or binary, because the
    * computed ratio is still a lower bound on the change in the objective caused by reducing those variable to reach
    * constraint feasibility. On the other hand, uplocks on x_k from other constraint do no interfer with the method.
    * With a slight adjustment, the procedure even works for integral x_k. If (maxactivity - rhs)/val is integral,
    * the variable gets an integral value in order to fulfill the constraint tightly, and we can just apply the procedure.
    * If (maxactivity - rhs)/val is fractional, we need to check, if overfulfilling the constraint by setting x_k to
    * ceil((maxactivity - rhs)/val) is still better than setting x_k to ceil((maxactivity - rhs)/val) - 1 and
    * filling the remaining gap in the constraint with the next-best variable. For this, we check that
    * c_k * ceil((maxactivity - rhs)/val) is still better than
    * c_k * floor((maxactivity - rhs)/val) + c_j * ((maxactivity - rhs) - (floor((maxactivity - rhs)/val) * val))/a_j.
    * In this case, the upper bound of x_k is decreased to ub_k - ceil(maxactivity - rhs).
    * If there are variables with a_i < 0 and c_i > 0, they are negated to obtain the above form, variables with same
    * sign of coefficients in constraint and objective prevent the use of this method.
