# 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.
