// This class implements two initial basis algorithms. The idea is to replace as
// much as possible the columns of B that correspond to fixed slack variables
// with some column of A in order to have more freedom in the values the basic
// variables can take.
//
// The first algorithm is Bixby's initial basis algorithm, described in the
// paper below. It considers the columns of A in a particular order (the ones
// with more freedom first) and adds the current column to the basis if it keeps
// B almost triangular and with coefficients close to 1.0 on the diagonal for
// good numerical stability.

// ORSA Jounal on Computing, Vol. 4, No. 3, Summer 1992.
// http://joc.journal.informs.org/content/4/3/267.abstract
//
// The second algorithm is is similar to the "advanced initial basis" that GLPK
// uses by default. It adds columns one by one to the basis B while keeping it
// triangular (not almost triangular as in Bixby's algorithm). The next
// column to add is chosen amongst the set of possible candidates using a
// heuristic similar to the one used by Bixby.
