 *
 * @note the algorithm will first compute a greedy solution and terminate
 *       if the greedy solution is proven to be optimal.
 *       The dynamic programming algorithm runs with a time and space complexity
 *       of O(nitems * capacity).
 *
 * @todo If only the objective is relevant, it is easy to change the code to use only one slice with O(capacity) space.
 *       There are recursive methods (see the book by Kellerer et al.) that require O(capacity) space, but it remains
 *       to be checked whether they are faster and whether they can reconstruct the solution.
 *       Dembo and Hammer (see Kellerer et al. Section 5.1.3, page 126) found a method that relies on a fast probing method.
 *       This fixes additional elements to 0 or 1 similar to a reduced cost fixing.
 *       This could be implemented, however, it would be technically a bit cumbersome,
 *       since one needs the greedy solution and the LP-value for this.
 *       This is currently only available after the redundant items have already been sorted out.

          *     so now we have the replacement -weight + weight * (a_1*y_1 + ... + a_n*y_n + c).
          * 2)  For all replacement variable we check:
          * 2a) weight * a_i < 0 than we add -weight * a_i * y_i_neg to the constraint and adjust the capacity through
          *     capacity -= weight * a_i caused by the negation of y_i.
          * 2b) weight * a_i >= 0 than we add weight * a_i * y_i to the constraint.
          * 3a) If repvar was not negated we need to subtract weight * c from capacity.
          * 3b) If repvar was negated we need to subtract weight * (c - 1) from capacity(note we switched the sign of
          *     weight in this case.

/** tries to simplify weights and delete redundant variables in knapsack a^Tx <= capacity
 *
 *  1. use the duality between a^Tx <= capacity   <=>   -a^T~x <= capacity - weightsum to tighten weights, e.g.
 *
 *     11x1 + 10x2 + 7x3 + 5x4 + 5x5 <= 25    <=>   -10~x1 - 10~x2 - 7~x3 - 5~x4 - 5~x5 <= -13
 *
 *     the above constraint can be changed to
 *
 *     -8~x1 - 8~x2 - 7~x3 - 5~x4 - 5~x5 <= -12   <=>   8x1 + 8x2 + 7x3 + 5x4 + 5x5 <= 20
 *
 *  2. if variables in a constraint do not affect the (in-)feasibility of the constraint, we can delete them, e.g.
 *
 *     7x1 + 6x2 + 5x3 + 5x4 + x5 + x6 <= 20 => x5 and x6 are redundant and can be removed
 *
 *  3. Tries to use gcd information an all but one weight to change this not-included weight and normalize the
 *     constraint further, e.g.
 *
 *     9x1 + 6x2 + 6x3 + 5x4 <= 13   =>   9x1 + 6x2 + 6x3 + 6x4 <= 12   =>   3x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 + 2x4 <= 4   =>   4x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 + 2x4 <= 4
 *                                                                                                        =>   2x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 <= 2
 *     9x1 + 6x2 + 6x3 + 7x4 <= 13   =>   9x1 + 6x2 + 6x3 + 6x4 <= 12   =>   see above

 *          wi'       := weightsum - capacity
 *          capacity' := capacity - (wi - wi')
 *  (2) increase weights from front to back(sortation is necessary) if there is no space left for another weight
 *      - determine the four(can be adjusted) minimal weightsums of the knapsack, i.e. in increasing order
 *        weights[nvars - 1], weights[nvars - 2], MIN(weights[nvars - 3], weights[nvars - 1] + weights[nvars - 2]),
 *        MIN(MAX(weights[nvars - 3], weights[nvars - 1] + weights[nvars - 2]), weights[nvars - 4]), note that there
 *        can be multiple times the same weight, this can be improved
 *      - check if summing up a minimal weightsum with a big weight exceeds the capacity, then we can increase the big
 *        weight, to capacity - lastmininmalweightsum, e.g. :
 *        19x1 + 15x2 + 10x3 + 5x4 + 5x5 <= 19
 *         ->  minimal weightsums: 5, 5, 10, 10
 *         ->  15 + 5 > 19 => increase 15 to 19 - 0 = 19
 *         ->  10 + 10 > 19 => increase 10 to 19 - 5 = 14, resulting in
 *        19x1 + 19x2 + 14x3 + 5x4 + 5x5  <= 19
 *  (3) let W(C) be the maximal weight of clique C,
 *          cliqueweightsum := sum(W(C))
 *      if cliqueweightsum - W(C) < capacity:
 *      - not using any item of C would make the knapsack constraint redundant
 *      - weights wi, i in C, and capacity can be changed to have the same redundancy effect and the same results for
 *        fixing xi, i in C, to zero or one, but with a reduced wi and tightened capacity to tighten the LP relaxation
 *      - change coefficients:
 *          delta     := capacity - (cliqueweightsum - W(C))
 *          wi'       := max(wi - delta, 0)
 *          capacity' := capacity - delta
 *      This rule has to add the used cliques in order to ensure they are enforced - otherwise, the reduction might
 *      introduce infeasible solutions.
 *  (4) for a clique C let C(xi == v) := C \ {j: xi == v -> xj == 0}),
 *      let cliqueweightsum(xi == v) := sum(W(C(xi == v)))
 *      if cliqueweightsum(xi == v) < capacity:
 *      - fixing variable xi to v would make the knapsack constraint redundant
 *      - the weight of the variable or its negation (depending on v) can be increased as long as it has the same
 *        redundancy effect:
 *          wi'       := capacity - cliqueweightsum(xi == v)
 *      This rule can also be applied to binary variables not in the knapsack!
 *  (5) if min{w} + wi > capacity:
 *      - using item i would force to fix other items to zero
 *      - wi can be increased to the capacity
