 * @brief  LP interface for SoPlex version 1.4 and higher
 * @author Tobias Achterberg
 * @author Timo Berthold
 * @author Ambros Gleixner
 * @author Marc Pfetsch
 *
 * This is an implementation of SCIP's LP interface for SoPlex. While the ratio test is fixed to SoPlex's standard,
 * different pricing methods can be chosen and an autopricing strategy (start with devex and switch to steepest edge
 * after too many iterations) is implemented directly. Scaler and simplifier may be applied if solving from scratch.
 *
 * For debugging purposes, the SoPlex results can be double checked with CPLEX if SCIP_WITH_LPSCHECK is defined. This may
 * yield false positives, since the LP is dumped to a file for transfering it to CPLEX, hence, precision may be lost.
