\class QSimplex
The QSimplex class is a Linear Programming problem solver based on the two-phase
simplex method.
It takes a set of QSimplexConstraints as its restrictive constraints and an
additional QSimplexConstraint as its objective function. Then methods to maximize
and minimize the problem solution are provided.
The two-phase simplex method is based on the following steps:
First phase:
1.a) Modify the original, complex, and possibly not feasible problem, into a new,
easy to solve problem.
1.b) Set as the objective of the new problem, a feasible solution for the original
complex problem.
1.c) Run simplex to optimize the modified problem and check whether a solution for
the original problem exists.
Second phase:
2.a) Go back to the original problem with the feasibl (but not optimal) solution
found in the first phase.
2.b) Set the original objective.
3.c) Run simplex to optimize the original problem towards its optimal solution.

Both solveMin and solveMax are interfaces to this method.
The enum solverFactor admits 2 values: Minimum (-1) and Maximum (+1).
This method sets the original objective and runs the second phase
Simplex to obtain the optimal solution for the problem. As the internal
simplex solver is only able to _maximize_ objectives, we handle the
minimization case by inverting the original objective and then
maximizing it.
