Computionally efficient vertex enumeration for (convex) polytopes

Let $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ be an $\mathcal{H}$-polytope. The vertex enumeration problem asks for the set of vertices $V$ of $P$. Theoretically, the vertex enumeration problem for $P$ can be ...

convex polyhedron in the unit cube

Let $P$ be a given finite set of points within the $n$-dimensional unit cube. A finite set $Q$ of points within the $n$-dimensional unit cube covers $P$ if $\operatorname{conv}(Q) \supseteq P$ where $\...

Fast projection onto a subspace

Given an $n$-dimensional vector $\mathbf{c}\in [0,1]^n$, let $\Delta_{\mathbf{c}}$ be the set of points $\{\mathbf{x}\in [0,1]^n: \langle \mathbf{c},\mathbf{x} \rangle \le 1\}$, where $\langle \mathbf{...

testing whether a polyhedral complex is convex

Definitions A (polyhedral) cone in $\Bbb R^n$ is the solution set of a finite number of inequalities of the form $a_1x_1+\cdots+a_nx_n\geq 0$. Note that I don't require strict convexity, i.e. a cone $...

Projection of a polytope along 4 orthogonal axes

Consider the following problem: Given an $\mathcal{H}$-polytope $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $4$ orthogonal vectors $v_1, ..., v_4 \in \mathbb{R}^d$, compute the projection of $P$ to the subspace ...

Attached convex "hulls"

Let $\mathcal{P}$ a finite set of points of a Euclidean $\mathbb{E}^n$ and take the union $\mathrm{U}(\mathcal{P})$ of all closed half-spaces defined by $n$ elements of $\mathcal{P}$ that contain only ...

Distinguishing (possibly lower dimensional) $1$-skeleton of a regular graph inscribed in a sphere

Consider you have two (possibly same) convex $1$-skeleton of a regular graph $A$ and $B$ in $m$-dimensions inscribed in a sphere with possibly exponential number of vertices in $n$-dimension with ...
