 * @brief  constraint handler for SOS type 2 constraints
 * @author Marc Pfetsch
 *
 * A specially ordered set of type 2 (SOS2) is a sequence of variables such that at most two
 * variables are nonzero and if two variables are nonzero they must be adjacent in the specified
 * sequence. Note that it is in principle allowed that a variable appears twice, but it then can be
 * fixed to 0 if it is at least two apart in the sequence.
 *
 * This constraint is useful when considering a piecewise affine approximation of a univariate
 * (nonlinear) function \f$: [a,b] \rightarrow R\f$: Let \f$x_1 < \ldots < x_n\f$ be points in
 * \f$[a,b]\f$ and introduce variables \f$\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_n\f$. To evaluate \f$f(x')\f$
 * at some point \f$x' \in [a,b]\f$ one can use the following constraints:
 * \f[
 *     \lambda_1 + \cdots + \lambda_n = 1,\quad x' = x_1 \lambda_1 + \cdots + x_n \lambda_n.
 * \f]
 * The value of \f$f(x')\f$ can the be approximated as
 * \f[
 *     f(x_1) \lambda_1 + \cdots + f(x_n) \lambda_n.
 * \f]
 * To get a valid piecewise affine approximation, \f$\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_n\f$ have to obey an
 * SOS constraint of type 2.
 *
 * This implementation of this constraint handler is based on classical ideas, see e.g.@n
 *  "Special Facilities in General Mathematical Programming System for
 *  Non-Convex Problems Using Ordered Sets of Variables"@n
 *  E. Beale and J. Tomlin, Proc. 5th IFORS Conference, 447-454 (1970)
 *
 * The order of the variables is determined as follows:
 *
 * - If the constraint is created with SCIPcreateConsSOS2() and weights are given, the weights
 *   determine the order (decreasing weights). Additional variables can be added with
 *   SCIPaddVarSOS2(), which adds a variable with given weight.
 *
 * - If an empty constraint is created and then variables are added with SCIPaddVarSOS2(), weights
 *   are needed and stored.
 *
 * - All other calls ignore the weights, i.e., if a nonempty constraint is created or variables are
 *   added with SCIPappendVarSOS2().
 *
 * @todo Allow to adapt the order of the constraints, e.g. by priorities. This for instance
 *   determines the branching order.
 * @todo Separate the following cuts for each pair of variables x, y of at least distance 2 in the
 *   SOS2 constraint: \f$ \min \{l_x, l_y\} \leq x + y \leq \max \{u_x, u_y\}\f$, where \f$l_x, u_x,
 *   l_y, u_y\f$ are the lower and upper bounds of x and y, respectively.
 * @todo Possibly allow to generate local cuts via strengthened local cuts (would affect lhs/rhs of rows)

/** perform one presolving round
 *
 *  We perform the following presolving steps.
 *
 *  - If the bounds of one variable force it to be nonzero, we can fix all other variables with distance at least two to
 *    zero. If two variables are certain to be nonzero, we can fix all other variables to 0 and remove the constraint.
 *  - All variables fixed to zero, that are at the beginning or end of the constraint can be removed.
 *  - We substitute appregated variables.
 *  - If a constraint has at most two variables, we delete it.
 *
 *  We currently do not handle the following:
 *
 *  - If we have at least two variables fixed to zero next to each-other, that are positioned in the inner part of this
 *    constraint, we can delete all but one of these variables.
 *  - If a variable appears twice not next to each-other, it can be fixed to 0. If one variable appears next to
 *    each-other and is already certain to be nonzero, we can fix all variables.
 *  - If a binary variable and its negation appear in the constraint, we might fix variables to zero or can forbid a zero
 *    value for them.
 *  - When, after removing all zero "border" variables, a constraint with more than two variables has at most two
 *    variables that are not fixed to 0, only one of these can take a nonzero value, because these variables need to be
 *    the "border" variables of this constraint. The same holds if we have exactly three variables in one constraint and
 *    the middle variable is certain to be not zero. In both cases we can upgrade this constraint constraint to an sos1
 *    consisting only of the "border" variables. If these "border" variables are negations of each other, we can delete
 *    this constraint.
 *  - When, after removing all variables fixed to 0, that are possible, in a constraint each even positioned variable is
 *    fixed to 0, we can upgrade this constraint to an sos1 that holds all non-fixed variables.
 *  - Extract cliques for all odd and also for all even positioned binary variables

/** enforcement method
 *
 *  We check whether the current solution is feasible, i.e., contains

 *
 *  We first compute \f$W = \sum_{j=1}^n |x_i|\f$ and \f$w =
 *  \sum_{j=1}^n j\, |x_i|\f$. Then we search for the index \f$k\f$ that
 *  satisfies
 *  \f[
 *        k \leq \frac{w}{W} < k+1.
 *  \f]
 *  The branches are then

 *        x_1 = 0, \ldots, x_{k-1} = 0 \qquad \mbox{and}\qquad
 *        x_{k+1} = 0, \ldots, x_n = 0.
 *  \f]
 *
 *  There is one special case that we have to consider: It can happen
 *  that \f$k\f$ is one too small. Example: \f$x_1 = 1 - \epsilon, x_2
 *  = 0, x_3 = \epsilon\f$. Then \f$w = 1 - \epsilon + 3 \epsilon = 1
 *  + 2 \epsilon\f$. This yields \f$k = 1\f$ and hence the first
 *  branch does not change the solution. We therefore increase \f$k\f$
 *  by one if \f$x_k \neq 0\f$. This is valid, since we know that
 *  \f$x_{k+1} \neq 0\f$ (with respect to the original \f$k\f$); the
 *  corresponding branch will cut off the current solution, since
 *  \f$x_k \neq 0\f$.
