 * @ingroup CONSHDLRS
 * @brief  constraint handler for cumulative constraints with optional activities
 * @author Chris Beck
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 *
 * Given a set of jobs \f$J\f$. Each job~\f$j\f$ has a binary variables \f$x_j\f$ which is one if this job is scheduled
 * on that machine (otherwise it is zero), an integer start time variables \f$S_j\f$, a processing time \f$p_j\f$, and a
 * demands \f$d_j\f$. Besides that an integer resource capacity \f$C\f$.
 *
 * The optcumulative enfoces the cumulative conditions for those jobs which are assigned to that machine. Let \f$J'\f$
 * be the subset of jobs assigned to that optcumulative constraint, then the cumulative constraint ensures that for
 * each point in time \f$t\f$ \f$\sum_{j\in J': S_j \leq t < S_j + p_j} d_j \leq C\f$ holds.
 *
 *
 * Propagation:
 *
 *
 * LP Relaxation:
 *
 * - let est(J) the earliest start time of all jobs of set \f$J\f$ and lct(J) the latest completion time for all jobs of
 *   set \f$J\f$, then the following linear constraint has to hold
 *   \f$\sum_{j\in J} p_j \cdot d_j \leq (lct(J) - est(J)) \cdot C\f$
 *
 */

/*
 * @todo Find subsets \f$J'\f$ of jobs which are together not schedulable and create knapsack constraint
 *       \f$\sum_{j\in J'} p_j \cdot d_j \leq (lct(J') - est(J')) \cdot C\f$
 * @todo Use a rectangle relaxation to determine if jobs which run in a certain interval can be packed feasible. this
 *       relaxation ignores the actual start and end time of a job.
 * @todo Adjsut relaxation after jobs are removed during search
 *
