//! A Mixed Integer (linear) Programming problem.
/*! \ingroup PPL_CXX_interface
  An object of this class encodes a mixed integer (linear) programming problem.
  The MIP problem is specified by providing:
   - the dimension of the vector space;
   - the feasible region, by means of a finite set of linear equality
     and non-strict inequality constraints;
   - the subset of the unknown variables that range over the integers
     (the other variables implicitly ranging over the reals);
   - the objective function, described by a Linear_Expression;
   - the optimization mode (either maximization or minimization).

  The class provides support for the (incremental) solution of the
  MIP problem based on variations of the revised simplex method and
  on branch-and-bound techniques. The result of the resolution
  process is expressed in terms of an enumeration, encoding the
  feasibility and the unboundedness of the optimization problem.
  The class supports simple feasibility tests (i.e., no optimization),
  as well as the extraction of an optimal (resp., feasible) point,
  provided the MIP_Problem is optimizable (resp., feasible).

  By exploiting the incremental nature of the solver, it is possible
  to reuse part of the computational work already done when solving
  variants of a given MIP_Problem: currently, incremental resolution
  supports the addition of space dimensions, the addition of constraints,
  the change of objective function and the change of optimization mode.
