 * @brief  remove redundant variable upper bound constraints
 * @author Dieter Weninger
 *
 * This presolver looks for dominating variable bound constraints
 * on the same continuous variable and discards them. For example let x be a
 * continuous variable and y, y' are binary variables. In addition, let two variable
 * upper bound constraints ax - by <= e and cx - dy' <= f are given. If
 * ax - by <= e implies cx - dy' <= f, then we can remove the second constraint
 * and substitute/aggregate y' := y. The same can be done with variable lower
 * bound constraints.
