/** dual weights tightening for knapsack constraints
 *
 *  1. a) check if all two pairs exceed the capacity, then we can upgrade this constraint to a set-packing constraint
 *     b) check if all but the smallest weight fit into the knapsack,  then we can upgrade this constraint to a logicor
 *        constraint
 *
 *  2. check if besides big coefficients, that fit only by itself, for a certain amount of variables all combination of
 *     these are a minimal cover, then might reduce the weights and the capacity, e.g.
 *
 *     +219y1 + 180y2 + 74x1 + 70x2 + 63x3 + 62x4 + 53x5 <= 219  <=>  3y1 + 3y2 + x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 <= 3
 *
 *  3. use the duality between a^Tx <= capacity   <=>   a^T~x >= weightsum - capacity to tighten weights, e.g.
 *
 *     11x1 + 10x2 + 7x3 + 7x4 + 5x5 <= 27    <=>   10~x1 + 10~x2 + 7~x3 + 7~x4 + 5~x5 >= 13
 *
 *     the above constraint can be changed to       8~x1 + 8~x2 + 6.5~x3 + 6.5~x4 + 5~x5 >= 13
 *
 *     16~x1 + 16~x2 + 13~x3 + 13~x4 + 10~x5 >= 26   <=>   16x1 + 16x2 + 13x3 + 13x4 + 10x5 <= 42

          *     so now we have the replacement -weight + weight * (a_1*y_1 + ... + a_n*y_n + c).
          * 2)  For all replacement variable we check:
          * 2a) weight * a_i < 0 than we add -weight * a_i * y_i_neg to the constraint and adjust the capacity through 
          *     capacity -= weight * a_i caused by the negation of y_i.
          * 2b) weight * a_i >= 0 than we add weight * a_i * y_i to the constraint.
          * 3a) If repvar was not negated we need to subtract weight * c from capacity.
          * 3b) If repvar was negated we need to subtract weight * (c - 1) from capacity(note we switched the sign of 
          *     weight in this case.

 *      - wi and capacity can be changed to have the same redundancy effect and the same results for
 *        fixing xi to zero or one, but with a reduced wi and tightened capacity to tighten the LP relaxation
 *      - change coefficients:
 *          wi'       := weightsum - capacity
 *          capacity' := capacity - (wi - wi')
 *  (2) increase weights from front to back(sortation is necessary) if there is no space left for another weight
 *      - determine the four(can be adjusted) minimal weightsums of the knapsack, i.e. in increasing order
 *        weights[nvars - 1], weights[nvars - 2], MIN(weights[nvars - 3], weights[nvars - 1] + weights[nvars - 2]),
 *        MIN(MAX(weights[nvars - 3], weights[nvars - 1] + weights[nvars - 2]), weights[nvars - 4]), note that there
 *        can be multiple times the same weight, this can be improved
 *      - check if summing up a minimal weightsum with a big weight exceeds the capacity, then we can increase the big
 *        weight, to capacity - lastmininmalweightsum, e.g. :
 *        19x1 + 15x2 + 10x3 + 5x4 + 5x5 <= 19
 *         ->  minimal weightsums: 5, 5, 10, 10
 *         ->  15 + 5 > 19 => increase 15 to 19 - 0 = 19
 *         ->  10 + 10 > 19 => increase 10 to 19 - 5 = 14, resulting in
 *        19x1 + 19x2 + 14x3 + 5x4 + 5x5  <= 19
 *  (3) let W(C) be the maximal weight of clique C,
 *          cliqueweightsum := sum(W(C))
 *      if cliqueweightsum - W(C) < capacity:
 *      - not using any item of C would make the knapsack constraint redundant
 *      - weights wi, i in C, and capacity can be changed to have the same redundancy effect and the same results for
 *        fixing xi, i in C, to zero or one, but with a reduced wi and tightened capacity to tighten the LP relaxation
 *      - change coefficients:
 *          delta     := capacity - (cliqueweightsum - W(C))
 *          wi'       := max(wi - delta, 0)
 *          capacity' := capacity - delta
 *      This rule has to add the used cliques in order to ensure they are enforced - otherwise, the reduction might
 *      introduce infeasible solutions.
 *  (4) for a clique C let C(xi == v) := C \ {j: xi == v -> xj == 0}),
 *      let cliqueweightsum(xi == v) := sum(W(C(xi == v)))
 *      if cliqueweightsum(xi == v) < capacity:
 *      - fixing variable xi to v would make the knapsack constraint redundant
 *      - the weight of the variable or its negation (depending on v) can be increased as long as it has the same
 *        redundancy effect:
 *          wi'       := capacity - cliqueweightsum(xi == v)
 *      This rule can also be applied to binary variables not in the knapsack!
 *  (5) if min{w} + wi > capacity:
