Hello Tobias,

Ok, that is clear.
> In all cases, y will be removed from the set of "active" variables and instead added to
> the set of "fixed" variables.
This explains a lot.

> values for all active variables, the values of fixed variables are determined.
That even more.
> For this reason, many constraints will contain "fixed" variables (usually, these will be
> aggregated variables rather than variables fixed to a specific value). This does no harm,

Right. I wasn't sure about that. Then I don't need the fixed variables.
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.
