In models with binary variables it is often the case that from a list
of variables only one can receive value 1 in a feasible solution. When
large constraints of this type exist (packing and partitioning),
branching in one variable at time usually doesn't work well: while
fixing one of these variables to one leaves only one possible feasible
value for the other variables in this set (zero), fixing one variable
to zero keeps all other variables free. This *unbalanced* branching is
highly ineffective. A Special ordered set (SOS) is a set
:math:`\mathcal{S}=\{s_1, s_2, \ldots, s_k\}` with weights
:math:`[w_1, w_2, \ldots, w_k] \in \mathbb{R}^+`. With this structure
available branching on a fractional solution :math:`x^*` for these
variables can be performed computing:

\min \{ u_{k'} : u_{k'} = | \sum_{j=1\,\ldots \,k'-1}
w_j \ldotp x^*_j - \sum_{j=k'\,\ldots ,k} w_j \ldotp x^*_j | \}
Then, branching :math:`\mathcal{S}_1` would be
