22  * A generalized variable bound is a linear inequality of the form
23  * \f[
24  * c \, x_i \geq \sum (a_j \, x_j) + d \cdot \mbox{primal\_bound} + \mbox{const},
25  * \f]
26  * where \f$c\f$ is either 1 or -1 and \f$primal\_bound\f$ is an upper bound on the optimal objective
27  * value, which may improve during the solving process. In SCIP, generalized variable bounds are
28  * used for providing bounds on the LHS's variable \f$x_i\f$. If the above inequality is valid, the
29  * following bounds, depending on \f$x_i\f$'s coefficient, are also valid:
30  * \f[
31  * c = 1 \qquad\Rightarrow\qquad x_i \geq \mbox{minactivity}(\sum a_j \, x_j)
32  * + d \cdot \mbox{primal\_bound} + \mbox{const}
33  * \f]
34  * \f[
35  * c = -1 \qquad\Rightarrow\qquad x_i \leq - \mbox{minactivity}(\sum a_j \, x_j)
36  * - d \cdot \mbox{primal\_bound} - \mbox{const}.
37  * \f]
38  *
39  * Note that for feasible problems, \f$d \leq 0\f$ must hold. If \f$d < 0\f$ a decrease of the
40  * primal bound causes an improvement of the provided bound. Similarly, if \f$a_j > 0\f$ (\f$< 0\f$), a
41  * tightened lower (upper) bound of a variable \f$x_j\f$ also yields a better bound for \f$x_i\f$.
42  *
43  * The genvbounds propagator sorts its stored generalized variable bounds topologically in the
44  * following order: A generalized variable bound A (\f$c\, x_i \geq \ldots\f$) preceeds a
45  * generalized variable bound B if the left-hand side variable of A appears in the right-hand side
46  * of B with sign of its coefficient equal to c; i.e., if A is propagated and tightens the
47  * corresponding bound of x_i, then the minactivity on the right-hand side of B increases. We
48  * assume that this order is acyclic for the generalized variable bounds added. Under this
49  * condition, propagating the generalized variable bounds in a topological order ensures that all
50  * propagations are found in one round.
51  *
52  * Both global and local propagation is applied: If the primal bound improves, generalized variable bounds with a
53  * nonzero coefficient d are enforced in order to tighten global bounds using the global variable bounds for computing
54  * the minactivity. Independently, the genvbounds propagator catches events SCIP_EVENTTYPE_LBTIGHTENED and
55  * SCIP_EVENTTYPE_UBTIGHTENED, i.e., locally tightened bounds of variables that occur in the right-hand sides of
56  * generalized variable bounds, in order to perform an efficient local propagation when called.
