Boolean operation on n dimensional polyhedron

A polyhedron in $R^n$ is defined by a set of half-planes: $P = \{x \in R^n \mid Ax - b \le 0\}$. Given a set of polyhedra in $R^n$, $ P_1, P_2, \dotsc, P_k$, is there an algorithm/implementation that ...

Drawing a 3D object in a 3D environment, and converting to math [closed]

So I have been granted a free time and I want to work on a project but first I had to research. As we know, lines have infinite points, and with lines, we can create infinite shapes. I want to let ...

Detecting non-negativity of a single constraint by polyhedral constraints - $II$

Let $$\langle a,x\rangle=b$$ be a linear constraint where $x\in\mathbb R^n$ and every entry in $a=(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ is in $\mathbb Z_{\geq0}^{n}$ (non-negative) and the entry $b$ is in $\mathbb Z_{\...

Existence of Nonnegative Solutions of Linear Systems of Equations and Inequalities with particular constraints

Suppose we have an $n \times m$ nonnegative matrix $A$, where each row sums to $1$. I wonder whether there exists an $m \times n$ nonnegative matrix $X$ that satisfies the following constraints: ...

Arrangements of hyperplanes

Fix $n>0$ and $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$. A function $f:X\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is linear if it is of the form $$ f(\bar{x})=a_1x_1+\ldots+a_nx_n+b $$ for some $a_i,b\in\mathbb{R}$. Suppose we ...

Closest 3D rotation matrix in the Frobenius norm sense

Given a 3 by 3 matrix $M$ I would like to find the rotation matrix $R$ minimizing the Frobenius norm: \begin{equation} \|R-M\|_F \end{equation} Is there a closed form solution for $R$, or is it ...

Mathematical Programming with other Algebras than Linear

Linear Programming is strongly entwined with linear algebra, as are many of its generalizations under the heading of mathematical programming / convex optimization. What analogies are there for ...
