/**@file   heur_subnlp.h
 * @ingroup PRIMALHEURISTICS
 * @brief  NLP local search primal heuristic using sub-SCIPs
 * @author Stefan Vigerske
 *
 * This heuristic applies a NLP local search to a nonlinear CIP after fixing all discrete variables.
 * That is, the CIP is copied, all discrete variables are fixed, presolving is applied,
 * and if the resulting CIP has a nonlinear relaxation, then it is tried to solve this relaxation
 * by an NLP solver.
 * The heuristic only runs if continuous nonlinearities are present (@ref SCIPhasNLPContinuousNonlinearity()).
 *
 * Fixing values for discrete values are either taken from a solution of the LP relaxation which
 * satisfies all integrality constraints, or are provided by SCIPupdateStartpointHeurSubNlp().
 *
 * This heuristic is orthogonal to the undercover heuristic (@ref heur_undercover.h), which fixes
 * variables in a nonlinear CIP in a way that a (possibly mixed-integer) linear subproblem is obtained.
