/** nonlinear handler expression data
 *
 * A signomial expression admits the form \f$ cx^a = y \f$, where \f$ y \f$ is an auxiliary variable representing this
 * expression and all \f$ x \f$ are positive.
 *
 * The natural formulation of the expression is defined as \f$ x^a = t = y/c \f$, where \f$ t \f$ is a
 * non-existant slack variable denoting \f$ y/c \f$. The variables in \f$x\f$ with positive exponents form positive
 * variables \f$ u \f$, and the associated exponents form positive exponents \f$ f \f$. The variables in \f$ x \f$ with
 * negative exponents and \f$ t \f$  form negative variables \f$ v \f$, and the associated exponents form negative
 * exponents \f$ g \f$. Let \f$ s =  \max(|f|,|g|) \f$ be a normalization constant, where \f$ |\cdot| \f$ denotes the L1 norm. Apply a scaling step:
 * Dividing the entries of \f$ f \f$  by \f$ s \f$, and dividing the entries of \f$ g \f$  by \f$ s \f$ as well. Then \f$ x^a = t \f$ has
 * a reformulation \f$ u^f = v^g \f$, where \f$ u^f, v^g \$ are two concave power functions.

 * to divide the both sides by \f$ -a_t \ge 0\f$, which yields  \f$ t \le (a_u u + a_v' v' + b) / -a_t \f$.
 * A rowprep in standard form only contains an estimator of the expression and no auxvar.
 * If in the underestimate mode, then we relax \f$ x^a \le t \f$, i.e., \f$ u^f - v^g \le 0 \f$. This implies that \f$ t \f$ is in \f$ v = (v',t) \f$.
