// --- VARIABLE ---------------------------------------------------------------

/// In this case, each variable is assumed to be identified with an integer
/// ranging from 0 until `problem.nb_vars()`

    /// assert_eq!(1, Variable(1).id());

/// resolution of the original problem which had been defined. 
/// 
/// # Note:
/// Sub-problems are automatically instantiated from nodes in the exact cut-sets 
/// of relaxed decision diagrams. If you are only discovering the API, rest 
/// assured.. you don't need to implement any subproblem yourself.

}

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// --- THRESHOLD --------------------------------------------------------------
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/// A threshold is a value that can be stored during the execution of a branch
/// and bound algorithm. It is associated with a single exact state and is used
/// to determine whether a new node with the same state is worth exploring.
