/**@brief   Saving LPs in a form suitable for SoPlex.
 * @ingroup Algo
 *
 *  Class SPxLPBase provides the data structures required for saving a linear program in the form
 *  \f[
 *  \begin{array}{rl}
 *      \hbox{max}  & c^T x              \\
 *      \hbox{s.t.} & l_r \le Ax \le u_r \\
 *                  & l_c \le x \le u_c
 *  \end{array}
 *  \f]
 *  suitable for solving with SoPlex. This includes:
 *  - SVSetBase%s for both columns and rows
 *  - objective Vector
 *  - upper and lower bound Vectors for variables (\f$l_c\f$ and \f$u_c\f$)
 *  - upper and lower bound Vectors for inequalities (\f$l_r\f$ and \f$u_r\f$)
 *
 *  Note, that the optimization sense is not saved directly. Instead, the objective function are multiplied by -1 to
 *  transform the LP to our standard form maximizing the objective function. However, the sense of the loaded LP can be
 *  retrieved with method #spxSense().
 *
 *  Further, equality constraints are modeled by \f$l_r = u_r\f$.  Analogously, fixed variables have \f$l_c = u_c\f$.
 *
 *  #SPxLPBase%s are saved as an SVSet, both for columns and rows. Note that this is redundant but eases the access.
