 *
 *  In LP management, we have to differ between the current LP and the SCIP_LP
 *  stored in the LP solver. All LP methods affect the current LP only.
 *  Before solving the current LP with the LP solver or setting an LP state,
 *  the LP solvers data has to be updated to the current LP with a call to
 *  lpFlush().

    * columns can be added later and remain unlinked while all previously added columns might already be linked.
    * Therefore, we have to be very careful about whether we can rely on the partitioning of the variables.
    *

    *    -> we just check the LP partitions
    *
    * 2) exactly one row is completely unlinked, the other one is completely linked

    *       (thus all common LP columns are regarded)
    *
    * 3) we have unlinked and LP columns in both rows
    *    -> we need to compare four partitions at once
    *
    * 4a) we have one row with unlinked and LP columns and the other without any unlinked columns

/** calls LPI to perform lexicographic dual simplex to find a lexicographically minimal optimal solution, measures time and counts iterations
 *
 *  We follow the approach of the following paper to find a lexicographically minimal optimal
 *  solution:
 *
 *  Zanette, Fischetti, Balas@n
 *  Can pure cutting plane algorithms work?@n
 *  IPCO 2008, Bertinoro, Italy.
 *
 *  We do, however, not aim for the exact lexicographically minimal optimal solutions, but perform a
 *  heuristic, i.e., we limit the number of components which are minimized.
 *
 *  More precisely, we first solve the problem with the dual simplex algorithm. Then we fix those
 *  nonbasic variables to their current value (i.e., one of the bounds except maybe for free
 *  variables) that have nonzero reduced cost. This fixes the objective function value, because only
 *  pivots that will not change the objective are allowed afterwards.
 *
 *  Then the not yet fixed variables are considered in turn. If they are at their lower bounds and
 *  nonbasic, they are fixed to this bound, since their value cannot be decreased further. Once a
 *  candidate is found, we set the objective to minimize this variable. We run the primal simplex
 *  algorithm (since the objective is changed the solution is not dual feasible anymore; if
 *  variables out of the basis have been fixed to their lower bound, the basis is also not primal
 *  feasible anymore). After the optimization, we again fix nonbasic variables that have nonzero
 *  reduced cost. We then choose the next variable and iterate.
 *
 *  We stop the process once we do not find candidates or have performed a maximum number of
 *  iterations.
 *
 *  @todo Does this really produce a lexicographically minimal solution?
 *  @todo Can we skip the consideration of basic variables that are at their lower bound? How can we
 *    guarantee that these variables will not be changed in later stages? We can fix these variables
 *    to their lower bound, but this destroys the basis.
 *  @todo Should we use lexicographical minimization in diving/probing or not?

/** compute relative interior point

 *  Tech. Rep, No. 1674-85, Sloan School, M.I.T., 1985
 *
 *  to compute a relative interior point for the current LP.
 *
 *  Assume the original LP looks as follows:
 *  \f[
 *     \begin{array}{rrl}
 *        \min & c^T x &\\
 *             & A x & \geq a\\
 *             & B x & \leq b\\
 *             & D x & = d.
 *     \end{array}
 *  \f]
 *  Note that bounds should be included in the system.
 *
 *  To find an interior point the following LP does the job:
 *  \f[
 *     \begin{array}{rrl}
 *        \max & 1^T y &\\
 *             & A x - y - \alpha a & \geq 0\\
 *             & B x + y - \alpha b & \leq 0\\
 *             & D x - \alpha d & = 0\\
 *             & 0 \leq y & \leq 1\\
 *             & \alpha & \geq 1.
 *     \end{array}
 *  \f]
 *  If the original LP is feasible, this LP is feasible as well. Any optimal solution yields the relative interior point
 *  \f$x^*_j/\alpha^*\f$. Note that this will just produce some relative interior point. It does not produce a
 *  particular relative interior point, e.g., one that maximizes the distance to the boundary in some norm.
