 * @brief   Methods for generalized resolution conflict analysis.
 * @author  Gioni Mexi
 *
 * This file implements a conflict analysis method based on generalized resolution,
 * as detailed in the paper:
 *
 * Gioni Mexi, et al. "Cut-based Conflict Analysis in Mixed Integer Programming."
 * arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.15110 (2024).
 *
 * The generalized resolution conflict analysis procedure starts with an initial
 * conflict row and it iteratively aggregates this row with a reason row—the row
 * that propagated the bound change causing the conflict. The aggregation
 * cancels the coefficient of the resolving variable. This process continues
 * until a first unique implication point (FUIP) is reached. If the aggregation
 * does not yield a valid (infeasible) row, the algorithm attempts to reduce the
 * reason row (e.g., using MIR reduction) and retries the aggregation. Once a
 * valid conflict row with negative slack is generated, a conflict constraint is
 * constructed and added to the problem.
 *
