 * @brief  principal minor separator
 * @author Benjamin Mueller
 *
 * This separator detects all principal minors of the matrix \f$ xx' \f$ for which all auxiliary variables \f$ X \f$
 * exist, i.e., two indices \f$ i \neq j \f$ such that \f$ X_{ii} \f$, \f$ X_{jj} \f$, and \f$ X_{ij} \f$ exist. Because
 * \f$ X - xx' \f$ is required to be positive semi-definite, it follows that the matrix
 *
 * \f[
 *    A(x,X) = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & x_i & x_j \\ x_i & X_{ii} & X_{ij} \\ x_j & X_{ij} & X_{jj} \end{bmatrix}
 * \f]
 *
 * is also required to be positive semi-definite. Let \f$ v \f$ be a negative eigenvector for \f$ A(x^*,X^*) \f$ in a
 * point \f$ (x^*,X^*) \f$, which implies that \f$ v' A(x^*,X^*) v < 0 \f$. To cut off \f$ (x^*,X^*) \f$, the separator
 * computes the globally valid linear inequality \f$ v' A(x,X) v \ge 0 \f$.
 *
 *
 * To identify which entries of the matrix X exist, we (the separator) iterate over the available nonlinear constraints.
 * For each constraint, we explore its expression and collect all nodes (expressions) of the form
 * - \f$x^2\f$
 * - \f$y \cdot z\f$
 *
 * Then, we go through the found bilinear terms \f$(yz)\f$ and if the corresponding \f$y^2\f$ and \f$z^2\f$ exist, then we have found
 * a minor.
 *
 * For circle packing instances, the minor cuts are not really helpful (see [Packing circles in a square: a theoretical
 * comparison of various convexification techniques](http://www.optimization-online.org/DB_HTML/2017/03/5911.html)).
 * Furthermore, the performance was negatively affected, thus circle packing constraint are identified and ignored in
 * the above algorithm. This behavior is controlled with the parameter "separating/minor/ignorepackingconss".
