 * @brief  LP interface for SoPlex version 2.0 and higher
 * @author Matthias Miltenberger
 * @author Ambros Gleixner
 *
 * This is an implementation of SCIP's LP interface for SoPlex using the extended and improved interface of SoPlex 2.0
 *
 * For debugging purposes, the SoPlex results can be double checked with CPLEX if SCIP_WITH_LPSCHECK is defined. This may
 * yield false positives, since the LP is dumped to a file for transfering it to CPLEX, hence, precision may be lost.
