/**@file   conflict.c
 * @brief  methods and datastructures for conflict analysis
 * @author Tobias Achterberg
 * @author Timo Berthold
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 * @author Marc Pfetsch
 * @author Michael Winkler
 *
 * This file implements a conflict analysis method like the one used in modern
 * SAT solvers like zchaff. The algorithm works as follows:
 *
 * Given is a set of bound changes that are not allowed being applied simultaneously, because they
 * render the current node infeasible (e.g. because a single constraint is infeasible in the these
 * bounds, or because the LP relaxation is infeasible).  The goal is to deduce a clause on variables
 * -- a conflict clause -- representing the "reason" for this conflict, i.e., the branching decisions
 * or the deductions (applied e.g. in domain propagation) that lead to the conflict. This clause can
 * then be added to the constraint set to help cutting off similar parts of the branch and bound
 * tree, that would lead to the same conflict.  A conflict clause can also be generated, if the
 * conflict was detected by a locally valid constraint. In this case, the resulting conflict clause
 * is also locally valid in the same depth as the conflict detecting constraint. If all involved
 * variables are binary, a linear (set covering) constraint can be generated, otherwise a bound
 * disjunction constraint is generated. Details are given in
 *
 * Tobias Achterberg, Conflict Analysis in Mixed Integer Programming@n
 * Discrete Optimization, 4, 4-20 (2007)
 *
 * See also @ref CONF. Here is an outline of the algorithm:
 *
 * -#  Put all the given bound changes to a priority queue, which is ordered,
 *     such that the bound change that was applied last due to branching or deduction
 *     is at the top of the queue. The variables in the queue are always active
 *     problem variables. Because binary variables are preferred over general integer
 *     variables, integer variables are put on the priority queue prior to the binary 
 *     variables. Create an empty conflict set.
 * -#  Remove the top bound change b from the priority queue.
 * -#  Perform the following case distinction:
 *     -#  If the remaining queue is non-empty, and bound change b' (the one that is now
 *         on the top of the queue) was applied at the same depth level as b, and if
 *         b was a deduction with known inference reason, and if the inference constraint's
 *         valid depth is smaller or equal to the conflict detecting constraint's valid
 *         depth:
 *          - Resolve bound change b by asking the constraint that inferred the
 *            bound change to put all the bound changes on the priority queue, that
 *            lead to the deduction of b.
 *            Note that these bound changes have at most the same inference depth
 *            level as b, and were deduced earlier than b.
 *     -#  Otherwise, the bound change b was a branching decision or a deduction with
 *         missing inference reason, or the inference constraint's validity is more local
 *         than the one of the conflict detecting constraint.
 *          - If a the bound changed corresponds to a binary variable, add it or its 
 *            negation to the conflict set, depending on which of them is currently fixed to
 *            FALSE (i.e., the conflict set consists of literals that cannot be FALSE
 *            altogether at the same time).
 *          - Otherwise put the bound change into the conflict set.
 *         Note that if the bound change was a branching, all deduced bound changes
 *         remaining in the priority queue have smaller inference depth level than b,
 *         since deductions are always applied after the branching decisions. However,
 *         there is the possibility, that b was a deduction, where the inference
 *         reason was not given or the inference constraint was too local.
 *         With this lack of information, we must treat the deduced bound change like
 *         a branching, and there may exist other deduced bound changes of the same
 *         inference depth level in the priority queue.
 * -#  If priority queue is non-empty, goto step 2.
 * -#  The conflict set represents the conflict clause saying that at least one
 *     of the conflict variables must take a different value. The conflict set is then passed
 *     to the conflict handlers, that may create a corresponding constraint (e.g. a logicor 
 *     constraint or bound disjunction constraint) out of these conflict variables and 
 *     add it to the problem.
 *
 * If all deduced bound changes come with (global) inference information, depending on
 * the conflict analyzing strategy, the resulting conflict set has the following property:
 *  - 1-FirstUIP: In the depth level where the conflict was found, at most one variable
 *    assigned at that level is member of the conflict set. This conflict variable is the
 *    first unique implication point of its depth level (FUIP).
 *  - All-FirstUIP: For each depth level, at most one variable assigned at that level is
 *    member of the conflict set. This conflict variable is the first unique implication
 *    point of its depth level (FUIP).
 *
 * The user has to do the following to get the conflict analysis running in its
 * current implementation:
 *  - A constraint handler or propagator supporting the conflict analysis must implement
 *    the CONSRESPROP/PROPRESPROP call, that processes a bound change inference b and puts all
 *    the reason bounds leading to the application of b with calls to
 *    SCIPaddConflictBound() on the conflict queue (algorithm step 3.(a)).
 *  - If the current bounds lead to a deduction of a bound change (e.g. in domain
 *    propagation), a constraint handler should call SCIPinferVarLbCons() or
 *    SCIPinferVarUbCons(), thus providing the constraint that infered the bound change.
 *    A propagator should call SCIPinferVarLbProp() or SCIPinferVarUbProp() instead,
 *    thus providing a pointer to itself.
 *  - If (in the current bounds) an infeasibility is detected, the constraint handler or
 *    propagator should
 *     1. call SCIPinitConflictAnalysis() to initialize the conflict queue,
 *     2. call SCIPaddConflictBound() for each bound that lead to the conflict,
 *     3. call SCIPanalyzeConflictCons() or SCIPanalyzeConflict() to analyze the conflict
 *        and add an appropriate conflict constraint.

 *
 *  1) during the time until (x >= 3) gets potentially popped no weaker lower bound was added to the queue, in that case
 *     the conflictlbcount is valid and conflictlb is 3; that is (var->conflictlbcount == conflict->count &&
 *     var->conflictlb == 3)
 *
 *  2) a weaker bound change info gets queued (e.g., x >= 4); this bound change is popped before (x >= 3) since it has
 *     higher priority (which is the time stamp of the bound change info and (x >= 4) has to be done after (x >= 3)
 *     during propagation or branching)
 *
 *    a) if (x >= 4) is popped and added to the conflict set the conflictlbcount is still valid and conflictlb is at
 *      most 4; that is (var->conflictlbcount == conflict->count && var->conflictlb >= 4); it follows that any bound
 *      change info which is stronger than (x >= 4) gets ignored (for example x >= 2)
 *
 *    b) if (x >= 4) is popped and resolved without introducing a new lower bound on x until (x >= 3) is a potentially
 *       candidate the conflictlbcount indicates that bound change is currently not present; that is
 *       (var->conflictlbcount != conflict->count)
 *
 *    c) if (x >= 4) is popped and resolved and a new lower bound on x (e.g., x >= 2) is introduced until (x >= 3) is
 *       pooped, the conflictlbcount indicates that bound change is currently present; that is (var->conflictlbcount ==
