#' Add maximum phylogenetic diversity objective
#'
#' Set the objective of a project prioritization [problem()] to
#' maximize the phylogenetic diversity that is expected to persist into the
#' future, whilst ensuring that the cost of the solution is within a
#' pre-specified budget (Bennett *et al.* 2014, Faith 2008).
#'
#' @param x [ProjectProblem-class] object.
#'
#' @param budget `numeric` budget for funding actions.
#'
#' @param tree [ape::phylo()] phylogenetic tree describing the
#'   evolutionary relationships between the features. Note that the
#'   argument to `tree` must contain every feature, and only the
#'   features, present in the argument to `x`.
#'
#' @details A problem objective is used to specify the overall goal of the
#'   project prioritization problem.
#'   Here, the maximum phylogenetic diversity objective seeks to find the set
#'   of actions that maximizes the expected amount of evolutionary history
#'   that is expected to persist into the future given the evolutionary
#'   relationships between the features (e.g. populations, species).
#'   Let \eqn{I} represent the set of conservation actions (indexed by
#'   \eqn{i}). Let \eqn{C_i} denote the cost for funding action \eqn{i}, and
#'   let \eqn{m} denote the maximum expenditure (i.e. the budget). Also,
#'   let \eqn{F} represent each feature (indexed by \eqn{f}), \eqn{W_f}
#'   represent the weight for each feature \eqn{f} (defaults to zero for
#'   each feature unless specified otherwise), and \eqn{E_f}
#'   denote the probability that each feature will go extinct given the funded
#'   conservation projects.
#'
#'   To describe the
#'   evolutionary relationships between the features \eqn{f \in F}{f in F},
#'   consider a phylogenetic tree that contains features \eqn{f \in F}{f in F}
#'   with branches of known lengths. This tree can be described using
#'   mathematical notation by letting \eqn{B} represent the branches (indexed by
#'   \eqn{b}) with lengths \eqn{L_b} and letting \eqn{T_{bf}} indicate which
#'   features \eqn{f \in F}{f in F} are associated with which phylogenetic
#'   branches \eqn{b \in B}{b in B} using zeros and ones. Ideally, the set of
#'   features \eqn{F} would contain all of the species in the study
#'   area---including non-threatened species---to fully account for the benefits
#'   for funding different actions.
#'
#'   To guide the prioritization, the conservation actions are organized into
#'   conservation projects. Let \eqn{J} denote the set of conservation projects
#'   (indexed by \eqn{j}), and let \eqn{A_{ij}} denote which actions
#'   \eqn{i \in I}{i in I} comprise each conservation project
#'   \eqn{j \in J}{j in J} using zeros and ones. Next, let \eqn{P_j} represent
#'   the probability of project \eqn{j} being successful if it is funded. Also,
#'   let \eqn{B_{fj}} denote the enhanced probability that each feature
#'   \eqn{f \in F}{f in F} associated with the project \eqn{j \in J}{j in J}
#'   will persist if all of the actions that comprise project \eqn{j} are funded
#'   and that project is allocated to feature \eqn{f}.
#'   For convenience,
#'   let \eqn{Q_{fj}} denote the actual probability that each
#'   \eqn{f \in F}{f in F} associated with the project \eqn{j \in J}{j in J}
#'   is expected to persist if the project is funded. If the argument
#'   to `adjust_for_baseline` in the `problem` function was set to
#'   `TRUE`, and this is the default behavior, then
#'   \eqn{Q_{fj} = (P_{j} \times B_{fj}) + \bigg(\big(1 - (P_{j} B_{fj})\big)
#'   \times (P_{n} \times B_{fn})\bigg)}{Q_{fj} = (P_j B_{fj}) + ((1 - (P_j
#'   B_{fj})) * (P_n \times B_{fn}))}, where `n` corresponds to the
#'   baseline "do nothing" project. This means that the probability
#'   of a feature persisting if a project is allocated to a feature
#'   depends on (i) the probability of the project succeeding, (ii) the
#'   probability of the feature persisting if the project does not fail,
#'   and (iii) the probability of the feature persisting even if the project
#'   fails. Otherwise, if the argument is set to `FALSE`, then
#'   \eqn{Q_{fj} = P_{j} \times B_{fj}}{Q_{fj} = P_{j} * B_{fj}}.
#'
#'   The binary control variables \eqn{X_i} in this problem indicate whether
#'   each project \eqn{i \in I}{i in I} is funded or not. The decision
#'   variables in this problem are the \eqn{Y_{j}}, \eqn{Z_{fj}}, \eqn{E_f},
#'   and \eqn{R_b} variables.
#'   Specifically, the binary \eqn{Y_{j}} variables indicate if project \eqn{j}
#'   is funded or not based on which actions are funded; the binary
#'   \eqn{Z_{fj}} variables indicate if project \eqn{j} is used to manage
#'   feature \eqn{f} or not; the semi-continuous \eqn{E_f} variables
#'   denote the probability that feature \eqn{f} will go extinct; and
#'   the semi-continuous \eqn{R_b} variables denote the probability that
#'   phylogenetic branch \eqn{b} will remain in the future.
#'
#'   Now that we have defined all the data and variables, we can formulate
#'   the problem. For convenience, let the symbol used to denote each set also
#'   represent its cardinality (e.g. if there are ten features, let \eqn{F}
#'   represent the set of ten features and also the number ten).

#'   X_i, Y_j, Z_{fj} in [0, 1] for all i in I, j in J, f in F (eqn 1i)
#'   }
#'
#'  The objective (eqn 1a) is to maximize the expected phylogenetic diversity
#'  (Faith 2008) plus the probability each feature will remain multiplied
#'  by their weights (noting that the feature weights default to zero).
#'  Constraint (eqn 1b) limits the maximum expenditure (i.e.
#'  ensures that the cost of the funded actions do not exceed the budget).
#'  Constraints (eqn 1c) calculate the probability that each branch
#'  (including tips that correspond to a single feature) will go extinct
#'  according to the probability that the features which share a given
#'   branch will go extinct.
#'  Constraints (eqn 1d) calculate the probability that each feature
#'  will go extinct according to their allocated project.
#'  Constraints (eqn 1e) ensure that feature can only be allocated to projects
#'  that have all of their actions funded. Constraints (eqn 1f) state that each
#'  feature can only be allocated to a single project. Constraints (eqn 1g)
#'  ensure that a project cannot be funded unless all of its actions are funded.
#'  Constraints (eqns 1h) ensure that the probability variables
#'  (\eqn{E_f}) are bounded between zero and one. Constraints (eqns 1i) ensure
#'  that the action funding (\eqn{X_i}), project funding (\eqn{Y_j}), and
#'  project allocation (\eqn{Z_{fj}}) variables are binary.
#'
#'  Although this formulation is a mixed integer quadratically constrained
#'  programming problem (due to eqn 1c), it can be approximated using
#'  linear terms and then solved using commercial mixed integer programming
#'  solvers. This can be achieved by substituting the product of the feature
#'  extinction probabilities (eqn 1c) with the sum of the log feature extinction
#'  probabilities and using piecewise linear approximations (described in
#'  Hillier & Price 2005 pp. 390--392) to approximate the exponent of this term.
