1//! Reduction from MaximumCommonEdgeSubgraph to ILP (Integer Linear Programming).
2//!
3//! Binary mapping variables `x_(u,p)` indicate that source vertex `u in V1`
4//! is mapped to target vertex `p in V2`. Row and column inequalities encode a
5//! partial injective map. For every label-compatible source/target arc pair
6//! `((u, lambda, v), (p, lambda, q))` we introduce a binary `y_(a,b)` that is
7//! forced to `1` exactly when both `x_(u,p)` and `x_(v,q)` are selected, via
8//! the McCormick linearization. The ILP objective is `max sum y_(a,b)`, which
9//! equals the count of preserved labelled arcs.
10//!
11//! This is a direct ILP rendering of the polyhedral formulation studied by
12//! Bahiense, Manic, Piva, and de Souza (DAM 2012) adapted to the directed
13//! edge-labelled graph model used in the library.

23/// Variable layout (all binary):
24/// - `x_(u,p)` at index `u * n2 + p` for `u in V1`, `p in V2`
25/// - `y_(a,b)` for each label-compatible source/target arc pair, indexed
26///   sequentially after the `x` block in the order they are enumerated by
27///   the constructor.
