/* In this example we show the use of general constraints for modeling
   some common expressions. We use as an example a SAT-problem where we
   want to see if it is possible to satisfy at least four (or all) clauses
   of the logical for

   L = (x0 or ~x1 or x2)  and (x1 or ~x2 or x3)  and
       (x2 or ~x3 or x0)  and (x3 or ~x0 or x1)  and
       (~x0 or ~x1 or x2) and (~x1 or ~x2 or x3) and
       (~x2 or ~x3 or x0) and (~x3 or ~x0 or x1)

   We do this by introducing two variables for each literal (itself and its
   negated value), a variable for each clause, and then two
   variables for indicating if we can satisfy four, and another to identify
   the minimum of the clauses (so if it one, we can satisfy all clauses)
   and put these two variables in the objective.
   i.e. the Objective function will be

   maximize Obj0 + Obj1

    Obj0 = MIN(Clause1, ... , Clause8)
    Obj1 = 1 -> Clause1 + ... + Clause8 >= 4

   thus, the objective value will be two if and only if we can satisfy all
   clauses; one if and only if at least four clauses can be satisfied, and
   zero otherwise.
