/**@file   cons_symresack.c
 * @brief  constraint handler for symresack constraints
 * @author Christopher Hojny
 *
 * The type of constraints of this constraint handler is described in cons_symresack.h.
 *
 * The details of the method implemented here are described in the following papers:
 *
 * Fundamental Domains for Integer Programs with Symmetries@n
 * Eric J. Friedman,@n
 * Combinatorial Optimization, volume 4616 of LNCS, 146-153 (2007)
 *
 * This paper describes an inequality to handle symmetries of a single permutation. This
 * so-called FD-inequality is the basic for the propagation routine of our implementation.
 *
 * Polytopes Associated with Symmetry Handling@n
 * Christopher Hojny and Marc E. Pfetsch,@n
 * (2017), preprint available at http://www.optimization-online.org/DB_HTML/2017/01/5835.html
 *
 * This paper describes an almost linear time separation routine for so-called cove
 * inequalities of symresacks. In our implementation, however, we use a separation routine with
 * quadratic worst case running time.
 *
 * Packing, Partitioning, and Covering Symresacks@n
 * Christopher Hojny,@n
 * (2017), preprint available at http://www.optimization-online.org/DB_HTML/2017/05/5990.html
 *
 * This paper introduces linearly many inequalities with ternary coefficients that suffice to
 * characterize the binary points contained in a packing and partitioning symresack completely.
