 * Some definitions:
 * - a `BILINEXPRTERM` is a product of two expressions
 * - a `QUADEXPRTERM` stores an expression `expr` that is known to appear in a nonlinear, quadratic term, that is
 *   `expr^2` or `expr*other_expr`. It stores its `sqrcoef` (that can be 0), its linear coef and all the bilinear expression
 *   terms in which expr appears.

 *
 *  so rayk = (rayk_1, ... rayk_n, e_k)
 *  We store the entries of the rays associated to the variables present in the quadratic expr.
 *  We do not store zero rays.
 *
 *  Also, we store the rays as if every nonbasic variable was at lower (so that all rays moves to infinity)
 *  Since the tableau is:
 *
 *      basicvar + Binv L (nonbasic_lower - lb) + Binv U (nonbasic_upper - ub) = basicvar_sol
 *
 *  then:
 *
 *      basicvar = basicvar_sol - Binv L (nonbasic_lower - lb) + Binv U (ub - nonbasic_upper)
 *
 *  and so the entries of the rays associated with the basic variables are:
 *  rays_basicvars = [-BinvL, BinvU].
 *
 *  So we flip the sign of the rays associated to nonbasic vars at lower.
 *  In constrast, the nonbasic part of the ray has a 1.0 for nonbasic at lower and a -1.0 for nonbasic at upper, i.e.
 *  nonbasic_lower = lb + 1.0(nonbasic_lower - lb) and

 * - Case 4: w != 0
 */

/** compute quantities for intersection cuts
 *
 * Assume the quadratic is stored as
 * \f[ q(z) = z_q^T Q z_q + b_q^T z_q + b_l z_l + c - z_a \f]
 * where:
 *  - \f$z_q\f$ are the quadratic vars
 *  - \f$z_l\f$ are the linear vars
 *  - \f$z_a\f$ is the aux var if it exists
 *
 * We can rewrite it as
 * \f[ \Vert x(z)\Vert^2 - \Vert y\Vert^2 + w(z) + \kappa \leq 0. \f]
 * To do this transformation and later to compute the actual cut we need to compute and store some quantities.
 * Let
 *    - \f$I_0\f$, \f$I_+\f$, and \f$I_-\f$ be the index set of zero, positive, and negative eigenvalues, respectively
 *    - \f$v_i\f$ be the i-th eigenvector of \f$Q\f$
 *    - \f$zlp\f$ be the lp value of the variables \f$z\f$
 *
 * The quantities we need are:
 *    - \f$vb_i = v_i^T b\f$ for \f$i \in I_+ \cup I_-\f$
 *    - \f$vzlp_i = v_i^T zlp_q\f$ for \f$i \in I_+ \cup I_-\f$
 *    - \f$\kappa = c - 1/4 \sum_{i \in I_+ \cup I_-} (v_i^T b_q)^2 / eigval_i\f$
 *    - \f$w(z) = (\sum_{i \in I_0} v_i^T b_q v_i^T) z_q + b_l^T z_l - z_a\f$
 *    - \f$w(zlp)\f$
 *
 * @return \f$\kappa\f$ and the vector \f$\sum_{i \in I_0} v_i^T b_q v_i^T\f$
 *
 * @note if the constraint is q(z) &le; rhs, then the constant when writing the constraint as quad &le; 0 is c - rhs.
 * @note if the quadratic constraint we are separating is q(z) &ge; lhs, then we multiply by -1.
 * In practice, what changes is
 *    - the sign of the eigenvalues
 *    - the sign of \f$b_q\f$ and \f$b_l\f$
 *    - the sign of the coefficient of the auxvar (if it exists)
 *    - the constant of the quadratic written as quad &le; 0 is lhs - c
 * @note The eigenvectors _do not_ change sign!

/** callback to detect structure in expression tree
 *
 * A term is quadratic if
 * - it is a product expression of two expressions, or
 * - it is power expression of an expression with exponent 2.0.
 *
 * We define a _propagable_ quadratic expression as a quadratic expression whose termwise propagation does not yield the
 * best propagation. In other words, is a quadratic expression that suffers from the dependency problem.
 *
 * Specifically, a propagable quadratic expression is a sum expression such that there is at least one expr that appears
 * at least twice (because of simplification, this means it appears in a quadratic terms and somewhere else).
 * For example: \f$x^2 + y^2\f$ is not a propagable quadratic expression; \f$x^2 + x\f$ is a propagable quadratic expression;
 * \f$x^2 + x y\f$ is also a propagable quadratic expression
 *
 * Furthermore, we distinguish between propagable and non-propagable terms. A term is propagable if any of the expressions
 * involved in it appear somewhere else. For example, \f$xy + z^2 + z\f$ is a propagable quadratic, the term \f$xy\f$ is
 * non-propagable, and \f$z^2\f$ is propagable. For propagation, non-propagable terms are handled as if they were linear
 * terms, that is, we do not use the activity of \f$x\f$ and \f$y\f$ to compute the activity of \f$xy\f$ but rather we use directly
 * the activity of \f$xy\f$. Similarly, we do not backward propagate to \f$x\f$ and \f$y\f$ (the product expr handler will do this),
 * but we backward propagate to \f$x*y\f$. More technically, we register \f$xy\f$ for its activity usage, rather than\f$x\f$ and \f$y\f$.
 *
 * For propagation, we store the quadratic in our data structure in the following way: We count how often a variable
 * appears. Then, a bilinear product expr_i * expr_j is stored as expr_i * expr_j if # expr_i appears > # expr_j
 * appears. When # expr_i appears = # expr_j appears, it then it will be stored as expr_i * expr_j if and only if
 * expr_i < expr_j, where '<' is the expression order (see \ref EXPR_ORDER "Ordering Rules" in \ref scip_expr.h).
 * Heuristically, this should be useful for propagation. The intuition is that by factoring out the variable that
 * appears most often we should be able to take care of the dependency problem better.
 *
 * Simple convex quadratics like \f$x^2 + y^2\f$ are ignored since the default nlhdlr will take care of them.
 *
 * @note The expression needs to be simplified (in particular, it is assumed to be sorted).
 * @note Common subexpressions are also assumed to have been identified, the hashing will fail otherwise!
 *
 * Sorted implies that:
 *  - expr < expr^2: bases are the same, but exponent 1 < 2
 *  - expr < expr * other_expr: u*v < w holds if and only if v < w (OR8), but here w = u < v, since expr comes before
 *  other_expr in the product
 *  - expr < other_expr * expr: u*v < w holds if and only if v < w (OR8), but here v = w
 *
 *  Thus, if we see somebody twice, it is a propagable quadratic.
 *
 * It also implies that
 *  - expr^2 < expr * other_expr
 *  - other_expr * expr < expr^2
 *
 * It also implies that x^-2 < x^-1, but since, so far, we do not interpret x^-2 as (x^-1)^2, it is not a problem.

/** nonlinear handler forward propagation callback
 *
 * This method should solve the problem
 * <pre>
 *    max/min quad expression over box constraints
 * </pre>
 * However, this problem is difficult so we are satisfied with a proxy.
 * Interval arithmetic suffices when no variable appears twice, however this is seldom the case, so we try
 * to take care of the dependency problem to some extent:
 * Let \f$P_l = \{i : \text{expr}_l \text{expr}_i \,\text{is a bilinear expr}\}\f$.
 * 1. partition the quadratic expression as sum of quadratic functions \f$\sum_l q_l\f$
 *    where \f$q_l = a_l \text{expr}_l^2 + c_l \text{expr}_l + \sum_{i \in P_l} b_{il} \text{expr}_i \text{expr}_l\f$
 * 2. build interval quadratic functions, i.e., \f$a x^2 + b x\f$ where \f$b\f$ is an interval, i.e.,
 *    \f$a_l \text{expr}_l^2 + [\sum_{i \in P_l} b_{il} \text{expr}_i + c_l] \text{expr}_l\f$
 * 3. compute \f$\min/\max \{ a x^2 + b x : x \in [x] \}\f$ for each interval quadratic, i.e.,
 *    \f$\min/\max a_l \text{expr}_l^2 + \text{expr}_l [\sum_{i \in P_l} b_{il} \text{expr}_i + c_l] : \text{expr}_l \in [\text{expr}_l]\f$
 *
 * Notes:
 * 1. The \f$l\f$-th quadratic expr (expressions that appear quadratically) is associated with \f$q_l\f$.
 * 2. `nlhdlrdata->quadactivities[l]` is the activity of \f$q_l\f$ as computed in the description above.
 * 3. The \f$q_l\f$ of a quadratic term might be empty, in which case `nlhdlrdata->quadactivities[l]` is [0,0].\n
 *    For example, consider \f$x^2 + xy\f$. There are two quadratic expressions, \f$x\f$ and \f$y\f$.
 *    The \f$q\f$ associated to \f$x\f$ is \f$x^2 + xy\f$, while the \f$q\f$ associated to \f$y\f$ is empty.
 *    Thus, `nlhdlrdata->quadactivities[1]` is [0,0] in this case.
 *    The logic is to avoid considering the term \f$xy\f$ twice.
 *
 * @note The order matters! If \f$\text{expr}_i\, \text{expr}_l\f$ is a term in the quadratic, then \f$i\f$ is *not* in \f$P_l\f$

   /* propagate quadratic part in expr's interval - linear activity, where linear activity was computed in INTEVAL.
    * The idea is basically to write interval quadratics for each expr and then solve for expr.
    *
    * One way of achieving this is:
    * - for each expression expr_i, write the quadratic expression as a_i expr^2_i + expr_i ( \sum_{j \in J_i} b_ij
    *   expr_j + c_i ) + quadratic expression in expr_k for k \neq i
    * - compute the interval b = [\sum_{j \in J_i} b_ij expr_j + c_i], where J_i are all the indices j such that the
    *   bilinear expression expr_i expr_j appears
    * - use some technique (like the one in nlhdlrIntevalQuadratic), to evaluate the activity of rest_i = [quadratic
    *   expression in expr_k for k \neq i].
    * - solve a_i expr_i^2 + b expr_i \in rhs_i := [expr activity] - rest_i
    *
    * However, this might be expensive, especially computing rest_i. Hence, we implement a simpler version.
    * - we use the same partition as in nlhdlrIntevalQuadratic for the bilinear terms. This way, b = [\sum_{j \in P_i}
    *   b_ij expr_j + c_i], where P_i is the set of indices j such that expr_i * expr_j appears in that order
    * - we evaluate the activity of rest_i as sum_{k \neq i} [\min q_k, \max q_k] where q_k = a_k expr_k^2 + [\sum_{j
    *   \in P_k} b_jk expr_j + c_k] expr_k. The intervals [\min q_k, \max q_k] were already computed in
    *   nlhdlrIntevalQuadratic, so we just reuse them.
    *
    * A downside of the above is that we might not deduce any bounds for variables that appear less often. For example,
    * consider x^2 + x * y + x * z + y * z + z. This quadratic gets partitioned as (x^2 + x*y + x*z) + (z*y + z). The
    * first parenthesis is interpreted as a function of x, while the second one as a function of z.
    * To also get bounds on y, after reverse propagating x in x^2 + x*y + x*z \in rhs, we rewrite this as y + z \in rhs/x -
    * x and propagate the y + z).
    * In general, after reverse propagating expr_i, we consider
    *   \sum_{j \in J_i} b_ij expr_j in ([expr activity] - quadratic expression in expr_k for k \neq i - c_i) / expr_i - a_i expr_i,
    * compute an interval for the right hand side (see computeRangeForBilinearProp) and use that to propagate the
    * linear sum on the left hand side.
    *
    * Note: this last step generalizes a technique that appeared in the classic cons_quadratic.
    * The idea of that technique was to borrow a bilinear term expr_k expr_l when propagating expr_l and the quadratic
    * function for expr_k was simple enough.
    * Since in P_l we only consider the indices of expressions that appear multiplying expr_l as _second_ factor, we
    * would lose the bilinear terms expr_k * expr_l, which contributes to the dependency problem.
    * The problem is that the contribution of b_kl * expr_k * expr_l to rest_i is not just [b_kl * expr_k * expr_l], but
    * rather quadactivities[k] (= max/min of a_k expr_k^2 + expr_k * [c_k + sum_i \in P_k b_ki expr_i]).
    * Thus, we _cannot_ just substract [b_kl * expr_k * expr_l] from rest_i.
    * But, if expr_k only appears as expr_k * expr_l, then  quadactivities[k] = [b_kl * expr_k * expr_l]. So this
    * case was handled in old cons_quadratic.
