 * @brief  Standard feasibility cuts for Benders' decomposition
 * @author Stephen J. Maher
 *
 * The classical Benders' decomposition feasibility cuts arise from an infeasible instance of the Benders' decomposition
 * subproblem.
 * Consider the linear Benders' decomposition subproblem that takes the master problem solution \f$\bar{x}\f$ as input:
 * \f[
 * z(\bar{x}) = \min\{d^{T}y : Ty \geq h - H\bar{x}, y \geq 0\}
 * \f]
 * If the subproblem is infeasible as a result of the solution \f$\bar{x}\f$, then the Benders' decomposition
 * feasibility cut can be generated from the dual ray. Let \f$w\f$ be the vector corresponding to the dual ray of the
 * Benders' decomposition subproblem. The resulting cut is:
 * \f[
 * 0 \geq w^{T}(h - Hx)
 * \f]
 *
 * Next, consider the nonlinear Benders' decomposition subproblem that takes the master problem solution \f$\bar{x}\f$ as input:
 * \f[
 * z(\bar{x}) = \min\{d^{T}y : g(\bar{x}, y) \leq 0, y \geq 0\}
 * \f]
 * If the subproblem is infeasible as a result of the solution \f$\bar{x}\f$, then the Benders' decomposition
 * feasibility cut can be generated from a minimal infeasible solution, i.e., a solution of the NLP
 * \f[
 *   \min\left\{\sum_i u_i : g(\bar{x}, y) \leq u, y \geq 0, u \geq 0\right\}
 * \f]
 * Let \f$\bar{y}\f$, \f$w\f$ be the vectors corresponding to the primal and dual solution of this auxiliary NLP.
 * The resulting cut is:
 * \f[
 * 0 \geq w^{T}\left(g(\bar{x},\bar{y}) + \nabla_x g(\bar{x},\bar{y}) (x - \bar{x})\right)
 * \f]
 * Note, that usually NLP solvers already provide a minimal infeasible solution when declaring the Benders'
 * decomposition subproblem as infeasible.
