/**@file   cons_varbound.c
 * @brief  Constraint handler for variable bound constraints \f$lhs \le x + c y \le rhs\f$.
 * @author Tobias Achterberg
 * @author Timo Berthold
 * @author Michael Winkler
 * @author Gerald Gamrath
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 *
 * This constraint handler handles a special type of linear constraints, namely variable bound constraints.
 * A variable bound constraint has the form
 * \f[
 *   lhs \leq x + c y \leq rhs
 * \f]
 * with coefficient \f$c \in Q\f$, \f$lhs\in Q \cup \{-\infty\}\f$, \f$rhs\in Q \cup \{\infty\}\f$,
 * and decision variables \f$x\f$ (non-binary) and \f$y\f$ (binary or integer).
 *
 * @note Although x must be non-binary when the constraint is created, it can happen that x is upgraded to a binary
 *       variable, e.g. due to aggregations or bound changes in presolving.

 *
 *  We also try to tighten bounds in the case of two constraints lhs1 <= x + b1*y <= rhs1 and lhs2 <= y + b2*x <= rhs2.
 *  Eliminiating one variable and inserting into the second yields the following bounds:
 *  If b2 > 0:
 *     (1 - b1 * b2) * y >= lhs2 - b2 * rhs1
 *     (1 - b1 * b2) * y <= rhs2 - b2 * lhs1
 *  If b2 < 0:
 *     (1 - b1 * b2) * y >= lhs2 - b2 * lhs1
 *     (1 - b1 * b2) * y <= rhs2 - b2 * rhs1
 *  The case of x is similar.
