 * @brief  randomized LP rounding heuristic which also generates conflicts via an auxiliary probing tree
 * @author Gregor Hendel
 *
 * Randomized LP rounding uses a random variable from a uniform distribution
 * over [0,1] to determine whether the fractional LP value x should be rounded
 * up with probability x - floor(x) or down with probability ceil(x) - x.
 *
 * This implementation uses domain propagation techniques to tighten the variable domains after every
 * rounding step.
 *
 * @see: The most relevant publication is Raghavan & Thompson,
 *       "Randomized rounding: A technique for provably good algorithms and algorithmic proofs",
 *        Combinatorica 7 (4): 365–374
 *        1987
