/** @name Differentiation
 * @anchor SCIP_EXPR_DIFF
 *
 * @par Gradients (Automatic differentiation Backward mode)
 *
 * Given a function, say, \f$f(s(x,y),t(x,y))\f$ there is a common mnemonic technique to compute its partial derivatives, using a tree diagram.
 * Suppose we want to compute the partial derivative of \f$f\f$ w.r.t. \f$x\f$.
 * Write the function as a tree:
 *
 *     f
 *     |-----|
 *     s     t
 *     |--|  |--|
 *     x  y  x  y
 *
 * The weight of an edge between two nodes represents the partial derivative of the parent w.r.t. the children, e.g.,
 *
 *     f
 *     |
 *     s
 *
 * is \f$ \partial_sf \f$.
 * The weight of a path is the product of the weight of the edges in the path.
 * The partial derivative of \f$f\f$ w.r.t. \f$x\f$ is then the sum of the weights of all paths connecting \f$f\f$ with \f$x\f$:
 * \f[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = \partial_s f \cdot \partial_x s + \partial_t f \cdot \partial_x t. \f]
 *
 * We follow this method in order to compute the gradient of an expression (root) at a given point (point).
 * Note that an expression is a DAG representation of a function, but there is a 1-1 correspondence between paths
 * in the DAG and path in a tree diagram of a function.
 * Initially, we set `root->derivative` to 1.0.
 * Then, traversing the tree in Depth First (see \ref SCIPexpriterInit), for every expr that *has* children,
 * we store in its i-th child, `child[i]->derivative`, the derivative of expr w.r.t. child evaluated at point multiplied with `expr->derivative`.
 *
 * For example:
 * 1. `f->derivative` = 1.0
 * 2. `s->derivative` = \f$\partial_s f \,\cdot\f$ `f->derivative` = \f$\partial_s f\f$
 * 3. `x->derivative` = \f$\partial_x s \,\cdot\f$ `s->derivative` = \f$\partial_x s \cdot \partial_s f\f$
 *
 * However, when the child is a variable expressions, we actually need to initialize `child->derivative` to 0.0
 * and afterwards add, instead of overwrite the computed value.
 * The complete example would then be:
 *
 * 1. `f->derivative` = 1.0, `x->derivative` = 0.0, `y->derivative` = 0.0
 * 2. `s->derivative` =  \f$\partial_s f \,\cdot\f$ `f->derivative` = \f$\partial_s f\f$
 * 3. `x->derivative` += \f$\partial_x s \,\cdot\f$ `s->derivative` = \f$\partial_x s \cdot \partial_s f\f$
 * 4. `y->derivative` += \f$\partial_y s \,\cdot\f$ `s->derivative` = \f$\partial_y s \cdot \partial_s f\f$
 * 5. `t->derivative` =  \f$\partial_t f \,\cdot\f$ `f->derivative` = \f$\partial_t f\f$
 * 6. `x->derivative` += \f$\partial_x t \,\cdot\f$ `t->derivative` = \f$\partial_x t \cdot \partial_t f\f$
 * 7. `y->derivative` += \f$\partial_y t \,\cdot\f$ `t->derivative` = \f$\partial_y t \cdot \partial_t f\f$
 *
 * Note that, to compute this, we only need to know, for each expression, its partial derivatives w.r.t a given child at a point.
 * This is what the callback `SCIP_DECL_EXPRBWDIFF` should return.
 * Indeed, from "derivative of expr w.r.t. child evaluated at point multiplied with expr->derivative",
 * note that at the moment of processing a child, we already know `expr->derivative`, so the only
 * missing piece of information is "the derivative of expr w.r.t. child evaluated at point".
 *
 * An equivalent way of interpreting the procedure is that `expr->derivative` stores the derivative of the root w.r.t. expr.
 * This way, `x->derivative` and `y->derivative` will contain the partial derivatives of root w.r.t. the variable, that is, the gradient.
 * Note, however, that this analogy is only correct for leave expressions, since the derivative value of an intermediate expression gets overwritten.
 *
 *
 * \par Hessian (Automatic differentiation Backward on Forward mode)
 *
 * Computing the Hessian is more complicated since it is the derivative of the gradient, which is a function with more than one output.
 * We compute the Hessian by computing "directions" of the Hessian, that is \f$H\cdot u\f$ for different \f$u\f$.
 * This is easy in general, since it is the gradient of the *scalar* function \f$\nabla f u\f$, that is,
 * the directional derivative of \f$f\f$ in the direction \f$u\f$: \f$D_u f\f$.
 *
 * This is easily computed via the so called forward mode.
 * Just as `expr->derivative` stores the partial derivative of the root w.r.t. expr,
 * `expr->dot` stores the directional derivative of expr in the direction \f$u\f$.
 * Then, by the chain rule, `expr->dot` = \f$\sum_{c:\text{children}} \partial_c \text{expr} \,\cdot\f$ `c->dot`.
 *
 * Starting with `x[i]->dot` = \f$u_i\f$, we can compute `expr->dot` for every expression at the same time we evaluate expr.
 * Computing `expr->dot` is the purpose of the callback `SCIP_DECL_EXPRFWDIFF`.
 * Obviously, when this callback is called, the "dots" of all children are known
 * (just like evaluation, where the value of all children are known).
 *
 * Once we have this information, we compute the gradient of this function, following the same idea as before.
 * We define `expr->bardot` to be the directional derivative in direction \f$u\f$ of the partial derivative of the root w.r.t `expr`,
 * that is \f$D_u (\partial_{\text{expr}} f) = D_u\f$ (`expr->derivative`).
 *
 * This way, `x[i]->bardot` = \f$D_u (\partial_{x_i} f) = e_i^T H_f u\f$.
 * Hence `vars->bardot` contain \f$H_f u\f$.
 * By the chain rule, product rule, and definition we have
 * \f{eqnarray*}{
 * \texttt{expr->bardot} & = & D_u (\partial_{\text{expr}} f) \\
 *   & = & D_u ( \partial_{\text{parent}} f \cdot \partial_{\text{expr}} \text{parent} )  \\
 *   & = & D_u ( \texttt{parent->derivative} \cdot \partial_{\text{expr}} \text{parent} ) \\
 *   & = & \partial_{\text{expr}} \text{parent} \cdot D_u (\texttt{parent->derivative}) + \texttt{parent->derivative} \cdot D_u (\partial_{\text{expr}} \text{parent}) \\
 *   & = & \texttt{parent->bardot} \cdot \partial_{\text{expr}} \text{parent} + \texttt{parent->derivative} \cdot D_u (\partial_{\text{expr}} \text{parent})
 * \f}
 *
 * Note that we have computed `parent->bardot` and `parent->derivative` at this point,
 * while \f$\partial_{\text{expr}} \text{parent}\f$ is the return of `SCIP_DECL_EXPRBWDIFF`.
 * Hence the only information we need to compute is \f$D_u (\partial_{\text{expr}} \text{parent})\f$.
 * This is the purpose of the callback `SCIP_DECL_EXPRBWFWDIFF`.

 * There are mainly 3 parts of the simplification process. You need to decide

 * 1. Simplify each factor (simplifyFactor()): At this stage we got the children of the product expression.
 *    At this point, each child is simplified when viewed as a stand-alone expression, but not necessarily when viewed as child of a product expression.
 *    Rules like SP2, SP7, etc are enforced at this point.
 * 2. Multiply the factors (mergeProductExprlist()): At this point rules like SP4, SP5 and SP14 are enforced.
 * 3. Build the actual simplified product expression (buildSimplifiedProduct()):
 *    At this point rules like SP10, SP11, etc are enforced.
 *
 * During steps 1 and 2 do not forget to set the flag `changed` to TRUE when something actually changes.
 *
 * \par Definition of simplified expressions
 *
 * An expression is simplified if it
 * - is a value expression
 * - is a var expression
 * - is a product expression such that
 *   - SP1: every child is simplified
 *   - SP2: no child is a product
 *   - SP4: no two children are the same expression (those should be multiplied)
 *   - SP5: the children are sorted [commutative rule]
 *   - SP7: no child is a value
 *   - SP8: its coefficient is 1.0 (otherwise should be written as sum)
 *   - SP10: it has at least two children
 *   - TODO?: at most one child is an `abs`
 *   - SP11: no two children are `expr*log(expr)`
 *     (TODO: we could handle more complicated stuff like \f$xy\log(x) \to - y * \mathrm{entropy}(x)\f$, but I am not sure this should happen at the simplification level;
 *            similar for \f$(xy) \log(xy)\f$, which currently simplifies to \f$xy \log(xy)\f$)
 *   - SP12: if it has two children, then neither of them is a sum (expand sums)
 *   - SP12b: if it has at least two children and expandalways is set, then no child is a sum (expand sums always)
 *   - SP13: no child is a sum with a single term
 *   - SP14: at most one child is an `exp`
 * - is a power expression such that
 *   - POW1: exponent is not 0
 *   - POW2: exponent is not 1
 *   - POW3: its child is not a value
 *   - POW4: its child is simplified
 *   - POW5: if exponent is integer, its child is not a product
 *   - POW5a: if exponent is fractional and distribfracexponent param is enabled, its child is not a product
 *   - POW6: if exponent is integer, its child is not a sum with a single term (\f$(2x)^2 \to 4x^2\f$)
 *   - POW7: if exponent is integer and at most expandmaxeponent param, its child is not a sum (expand sums)
 *   - POW8: its child is not a power unless \f$(x^n)^m\f$ with \f$nm\f$ being integer and \f$n\f$ or \f$m\f$ fractional and \f$n\f$ not being even integer
 *   - POW9: its child is not a sum with a single term with a positive coefficient: \f$(25x)^{0.5} \to 5 x^{0.5}\f$
 *   - POW10: its child is not a binary variable: \f$b^e, e > 0 \to b\f$; \f$b^e, e < 0 \to b := 1\f$
 *   - POW11: its child is not an exponential: \f$\exp(\text{expr})^e \to \exp(e\cdot\text{expr})\f$
 *   - POW12: its child is not an absolute value if the exponent is an even integer: \f$\abs(\text{expr})^e, e \text{ even} \to \text{expr}^e\f$
 * - is a signedpower expression such that
 *   - SPOW1: exponent is not 0
 *   - SPOW2: exponent is not 1
 *   - SPOW3: its child is not a value
 *   - SPOW4: its child is simplified
 *   - SPOW5: (TODO) do we want to distribute signpowers over products like we do for powers?
 *   - SPOW6: exponent is not an odd integer: (signpow odd expr) -> (pow odd expr)
 *   - SPOW8: if exponent is integer, its child is not a power
 *   - SPOW9: its child is not a sum with a single term: \f$\mathrm{signpow}(25x,0.5) \to 5\mathrm{signpow}(x,0.5)\f$
 *   - SPOW10: its child is not a binary variable: \f$\mathrm{signpow}(b,e), e > 0 \to b\f$; \f$\mathrm{signpow}(b,e), e < 0 \to b := 1\f$
 *   - SPOW11: its child is not an exponential: \f$\mathrm{signpow}(\exp(\text{expr}),e) \to \exp(e\cdot\text{expr})\f$
 *   - TODO: what happens when child is another signed power?
 *   - TODO: if child &ge; 0 -> transform to normal power; if child < 0 -> transform to - normal power
 *
 *   TODO: Some of these criteria are too restrictive for signed powers; for example, the exponent does not need to be
 *   an integer for signedpower to distribute over a product (SPOW5, SPOW6, SPOW8). Others can also be improved.
 * - is a sum expression such that
 *   - SS1: every child is simplified
 *   - SS2: no child is a sum
 *   - SS3: no child is a value (values should go in the constant of the sum)
 *   - SS4: no two children are the same expression (those should be summed up)
 *   - SS5: the children are sorted [commutative rule]
 *   - SS6: it has at least one child
 *   - SS7: if it consists of a single child, then either constant is != 0.0 or coef != 1
 *   - SS8: no child has coefficient 0
 *   - SS9: if a child c is a product that has an exponential expression as one of its factors, then the coefficient of c is +/-1.0
 *   - SS10: if a child c is an exponential, then the coefficient of c is +/-1.0
 * - it is a function with simplified arguments, but not all of them can be values
 * - TODO? a logarithm doesn't have a product as a child
 * - TODO? the exponent of an exponential is always 1
 *
 * \par Ordering Rules (see SCIPexprCompare())
 * \anchor EXPR_ORDER
 * These rules define a total order on *simplified* expressions.
 * There are two groups of rules, when comparing equal type expressions and different type expressions.
 *
 * Equal type expressions:
 * - OR1: u,v value expressions: u < v &hArr; val(u) < val(v)
 * - OR2: u,v var expressions: u < v &hArr; `SCIPvarGetIndex(var(u))` < `SCIPvarGetIndex(var(v))`
 * - OR3: u,v are both sum or product expression: < is a lexicographical order on the terms
 * - OR4: u,v are both pow: u < v &hArr; base(u) < base(v) or, base(u) = base(v) and expo(u) < expo(v)
 * - OR5: u,v are \f$u = f(u_1, ..., u_n), v = f(v_1, ..., v_m)\f$: u < v &hArr; For the first k such that \f$u_k \neq v_k\f$, \f$u_k < v_k\f$, or if such a \f$k\f$ doesn't exist, then \f$n < m\f$.
 *
 * Different type expressions:
 * - OR6: u value, v other: u < v always
 * - OR7: u sum, v var or func: u < v &hArr; u < 0+v;
 *        In other words, if \f$u = \sum_{i=1}^n \alpha_i u_i\f$, then u < v &hArr; \f$u_n\f$ < v or if \f$u_n\f$ = v and \f$\alpha_n\f$ < 1.
 * - OR8: u product, v pow, sum, var or func: u < v &hArr; u < 1*v;
 *        In other words, if \f$u = \prod_{i=1}^n u_i\f$, then u < v &hArr; \f$u_n\f$ < v.
 *        Note: since this applies only to simplified expressions, the form of the product is correct.
 *              Simplified products  do *not* have constant coefficients.
 * - OR9: u pow, v sum, var or func: u < v &hArr; u < v^1
 * - OR10: u var, v func: u < v always
 * - OR11: u func, v other type of func: u < v &hArr; name(type(u)) < name(type(v))
 * - OR12: none of the rules apply: u < v &hArr; ! v < u
 *
 * Examples:
 * - x < x^2 ?:  x is var and x^2 power, so none applies (OR12).
 *   Hence, we try to answer x^2 < x ?: x^2 < x &hArr; x < x or if x = x and 2 < 1 &hArr; 2 < 1 &hArr; False. So x < x^2 is True.
 * - x < x^-1 --OR12&rarr; ~(x^-1 < x) --OR9&rarr; ~(x^-1 < x^1) --OR4&rarr; ~(x < x or -1 < 1) &rarr; ~True &rarr; False
 * - x*y < x --OR8&rarr; x*y < 1*x --OR3&rarr; y < x --OR2&rarr; False
 * - x*y < y --OR8&rarr; x*y < 1*y --OR3&rarr; y < x --OR2&rarr; False
 *
 * \par Algorithm
 *
 * The recursive version of the algorithm is
 *
 *     EXPR simplify(expr)
 *        for c in 1..expr->nchildren
 *           expr->children[c] = simplify(expr->children[c])
 *        end
 *        return expr->exprhdlr->simplify(expr)
 *     end
 *
 * Important: Whatever is returned by a simplify callback **has** to be simplified.
 * Also, all children of the given expression **are** already simplified.
