 * @author Tobias Achterberg
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 * @author Michael Winkler
 *
 * This constraint handler deals with "and" constraint. These are constraint of the form:
 *
 * \f[
 *    r = x_1 \wedge x_2 \wedge \dots  \wedge x_n
 * \f]
 *
 * where \f$x_i\f$ is a binary variable for all \f$i\f$. Hence, \f$r\f$ is also of binary type. The variable \f$r\f$ is
 * called resultant and the \f$x\f$'s operators.
