/**@file   cons_cumulative.h
 * @ingroup CONSHDLRS
 * @brief  constraint handler for cumulative constraints
 * @author Timo Berthold
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 * @author Jens Schulz
 *
 * Given:
 * - a set of jobs, represented by their integer start time variables \f$S_j\f$, their array of processing times \f$p_j\f$ and of
 *   their demands \f$d_j\f$.
 * - an integer resource capacity \f$C\f$
 *
 * The cumulative constraint ensures that for each point in time \f$t\f$ \f$\sum_{j: S_j \leq t < S_j + p_j} d_j \leq C\f$ holds.
 *
 * @par
 * Separation:
 * - can be done using binary start time model, see Pritskers, Watters and Wolfe
 * - or by just separating relatively weak cuts on the start time variables
 *
 * @par
 * Propagation:
 * - time tabling, Klein & Scholl (1999)
 * - Edge-finding from Petr Vilim, adjusted and simplified for dynamic repropagation
 *   (2009)
 * - energetic reasoning, see Baptiste, Le Pape, Nuijten (2001)
