 * @brief  nonlinear handler for second order cone constraints

 * @author Benjamin Mueller
 * @author Felipe Serrano
 * @author Fabian Wegscheider
 *
 * This is a nonlinear handler for second order cone constraints of the form
 *
 * \f[\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (v_i^T x + \beta_i)^2} \leq v_{n+1}^T x + \beta_{n+1}.\f]
 *
 * Note that \f$v_i\f$, for \f$i \leq n\f$, could be 0, thus allowing a positive constant term inside the root.
 *
 * @todo test if it makes sense to only disaggregate when nterms > some parameter

 * Data structures
 */

/** nonlinear handler expression data. The data is structured in the following way:
 *
 *  A 'term' is one of the arguments of the quadratic terms, i.e. \f$v_i^T x + beta_i\f$.
 *  The last term is always the one on the right-hand side. This means that nterms is
 *  equal to n+1 in the above description.
 *
 *  - vars contains a list of all expressions which are treated as variables (no duplicates)
 *  - offsets contains the constants beta_i of each term
 *  - transcoefs contains the non-zero values of the transformation vectors v_i of each term
 *  - transcoefsidx contains for each entry of transcoefs the position of the respective variable in vars
 *  - termbegins contains the index at which the transcoefs of each term start, with a sentinel value
 *  - nterms is the total number of terms appearing on both sides
 *  - nvars is the total number of unique variables appearing (length of vars)
 *
 *  Note that the numbers of nonzeroes in v_i is termbegins[i+1] - termbegins[i] and that
 *  the total number of entries in transcoefs and transcoefsidx is termbegins[nterms]
 *
 *  The disaggregation is implicitly stored in the variables disvars and disrow. An SOC as
 *  described above is replaced by n smaller SOCs
 *
 *              (v_i^T x + beta_i)^2 <= disvar_i     * (v_{n+1}^T x + beta_{n+1})
 *
 *  and the row       sum_i disvar_i <= v_{n+1}^T x + beta_{n+1}.
 *
 *  The disaggregation only happens if we have more than 3 terms.
 *
 *  Example: The constraint SQRT(5 + (3x - 4y + 2)^2 + y^2 + 7z^2) <= 5x - y - 1
 *           results in the following nlhdlrexprdata:
 *
 *           vars = {x, y, z}
 *           offsets = {2, 0, 0, SQRT(5), -1}
 *           transcoefs = {3, -4, 1, SQRT(7), 5, -1}
 *           transcoefsidx = {0, 1, 1, 2, 0, 1}
 *           termbegins = {0, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6}
 *           nvars = 3
 *           nterms = 5
 *
 * @note: due to the current implementation, the constant term is the second to last term, except when the SOC was a rotated
 * SOC, e.g., 1 + x^2 - y*z, i.e., when detected by detectSocQuadraticSimple. In that case, the constant is third to
 * last term.

/** detects complex quadratic expressions that can be represented as SOC constraints
 *
 *  These are quadratic expressions with either exactly one positive or exactly one negative eigenvalue,
 *  in addition to some extra conditions. One needs to write the quadratic as
 *  sum eigval_i (eigvec_i . x)^2 + c &le; -eigval_k (eigvec_k . x)^2, where eigval_k is the negative eigenvalue,
 *  and c must be positive and (eigvec_k . x) must not change sign.
 *  This is described in more details in
 *  Mahajan, Ashutosh & Munson, Todd, Exploiting Second-Order Cone Structure for Global Optimization, 2010.
 *
 *  The eigen-decomposition is computed using Lapack.
 *  Binary linear variables are interpreted as quadratic terms.
 *
 * @todo: In the case -b <= a + x^2 - y^2 <= b, it is possible to represent both sides by SOC. Currently, the
 * datastructure can only handle one SOC. If this should appear more often, it could be worth to extend it,
 * such that both sides can be handled (see e.g. instance chp_partload).
 * FS: this shouldn't be possible. For a <= b + x^2 - y^2 <= c to be SOC representable on both sides, we would need
 * that a - b >= 0 and b -c >= 0, but this implies that a >= c and assuming the constraint is not trivially infeasible,
 * a <= b. Thus, a = b = c and the constraint is x^2 == y^2.
 *
 * @todo: Since cons_nonlinear multiplies as many terms out as possible during presolving, some SOC-representable
 * structures cannot be detected, (see e.g. instances bearing or wager). There is currently no obvious way
 * to handle this.

/** helper method to detect SOC structures
 *
 * The detection runs in 3 steps:
 *  1. check if expression is a norm of the form \f$\sqrt{\sum_i (\text{sqrcoef}_i\, \text{expr}_i^2 + \text{lincoef}_i\, \text{expr}_i) + c}\f$
 *  which can be transformed to the form \f$\sqrt{\sum_i (\text{coef}_i \text{expr}_i + \text{const}_i)^2 + c^*}\f$ with \f$c^* \geq 0\f$.\n
 *    -> this results in the SOC     expr &le; auxvar(expr)
 *
 *    TODO we should generalize and check for sqrt(positive-semidefinite-quadratic)
 *
 *  2. check if expression represents a quadratic function of one of the following forms (all coefs > 0)
 *     1. \f$(\sum_i   \text{coef}_i \text{expr}_i^2) - \text{coef}_k \text{expr}_k^2 \leq \text{RHS}\f$ or
 *     2. \f$(\sum_i - \text{coef}_i \text{expr}_i^2) + \text{coef}_k \text{expr}_k^2 \geq \text{LHS}\f$ or
 *     3. \f$(\sum_i   \text{coef}_i \text{expr}_i^2) - \text{coef}_k \text{expr}_k \text{expr}_l \leq \text{RHS}\f$ or
 *     4. \f$(\sum_i - \text{coef}_i \text{expr}_i^2) + \text{coef}_k \text{expr}_k \text{expr}_l \geq \text{LHS}\f$,
 *
 *     where RHS &ge; 0 or LHS &le; 0, respectively. For LHS and RHS we use the constraint sides if it is a root expr
 *     and the bounds of the auxiliary variable otherwise.
 *     The last two cases are called hyperbolic or rotated second order cone.\n
 *     -> this results in the SOC \f$\sqrt{(\sum_i \text{coef}_i \text{expr}_i^2) - \text{RHS}} \leq \sqrt{\text{coef}_k} \text{expr}_k\f$
 *                            or  \f$\sqrt{4(\sum_i \text{coef}_i \text{expr}_i^2) - 4\text{RHS} + (\text{expr}_k - \text{expr}_l)^2)} \leq \text{expr}_k + \text{expr}_l\f$.
 *                            (analogously for the LHS cases)
 *
 *  3. check if expression represents a quadratic inequality of the form \f$f(x) = x^TAx + b^Tx + c \leq 0\f$ such that \f$f(x)\f$
 *  has exactly one negative eigenvalue plus some extra conditions, see detectSocQuadraticComplex().
 *
 *  Note that step 3 is only performed if parameter `compeigenvalues` is set to TRUE.

/** checks whether constraint is SOC representable in original variables and returns the SOC representation
 *
 * The SOC representation has the form:
 * \f$\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (v_i^T x + \beta_i)^2} - v_{n+1}^T x - \beta_{n+1} \lessgtr 0\f$,
 * where \f$n+1 = \text{nterms}\f$ and the inequality type is given by sidetype (`SCIP_SIDETYPE_RIGHT` if inequality
 * is \f$\leq\f$, `SCIP_SIDETYPE_LEFT` if \f$\geq\f$).
 *
 * For each term (i.e. for each \f$i\f$ in the above notation as well as \f$n+1\f$), the constant \f$\beta_i\f$ is given by the
 * corresponding element `offsets[i-1]` and `termbegins[i-1]` is the starting position of the term in arrays
 * `transcoefs` and `transcoefsidx`. The overall number of nonzeros is `termbegins[nterms]`.
 *
 * Arrays `transcoefs` and `transcoefsidx` have size `termbegins[nterms]` and define the linear expressions \f$v_i^T x\f$
 * for each term. For a term \f$i\f$ in the above notation, the nonzeroes are given by elements
 * `termbegins[i-1]...termbegins[i]` of `transcoefs` and `transcoefsidx`. There may be no nonzeroes for some term (i.e.,
 * constant terms are possible). `transcoefs` contains the coefficients \f$v_i\f$ and `transcoefsidx` contains positions of
 * variables in the `vars` array.
 *
 * The `vars` array has size `nvars` and contains \f$x\f$ variables; each variable is included at most once.
 *
 * The arrays should be freed by calling SCIPfreeSOCArraysNonlinear().
 *
 * This function uses the methods that are used in the detection algorithm of the SOC nonlinear handler.
