 * @brief  least infeasible LP branching rule
 * @author Tobias Achterberg
 *
 * The least infeasible branching rule selects a candidate variable $j$ with fractional solution value \f$ \hat{x}_j\f$
 * which maximizes
 * \f[
 *      \max \left\{ \lceil \hat{x}_j \rceil - \hat{x}_j, \hat{x}_j - \lfloor \hat{x}_j \rfloor  \right\}.
 * \f]
 * i. e., a variable which already is closest to being integral among all branching candidates.
 *
 * The least infeasible rule and many other branching rules of SCIP are explained and compared in
