Integral hull of a polyhedron Q is polyhedron
Let $Q \subseteq R^n$ be a rational polyhedron and let $Q_I=Convexhull(Q \cap Z^n)$. By finite basis theorem, we have $Q=P+C$ for some rational polytope $P$ and finitely generated cone $C$ where $C=R_+...

Software for computing polytopes
As can be inferred from the title, I want to do some computation on the facets representation of the polytopes given the vertices. My advisor recommended me Polymake, which is indeed useful even with ...

Decomposition of Polyhedral - An example
There is no doubt that clear examples consolidate the understanding of concepts being learnt. I am new to finding the structure and decomposition of a polyhedra. Suppose that we have the system

Does quantifier elimination help here?
Suppose we have a quantified linear program
$$\exists z_1,\dots,z_{poly(n)}\in\mathbb R$$
$$\exists u_1,\dots,u_n\in\mathcal P\cap\mathbb R^m$$
$$\forall v_1,\dots,v_n\in\mathcal P\cap\mathbb R^m$$
$$...

In convex optimization we know that the optimum solution is on which hyper plane
We have a standard linear program, I mean a set of inequalities $c_i^Tx\leq b_i$ where $i\in \{1,\ldots ,k\}$ and we want to find $max\{c^Ty| y\in \{\cap \{x|c_i^Tx\leq b_i\}\}$. I put some condition ...

Prove that the following set of triples forms a convex polytope
Take $a,\,b,\,c,\,d \in \mathbb R_+$ such that $a+b+c+d=1$. Define:
\begin{equation}
x_1 = \min(a+b,\,c+d)\,,\qquad x_2 = \min(a+c,\,b+d)\,,\qquad x_3 = \min(a+d,\,b+c)\;.
\end{equation}
I would like ...

Recursive linear programming on a linear subset of a simplex
The problem I am working on is:
Given an $n$ dimensional vector $r \in \mathcal{R}^n$, and a convex set $G=\{\mu \in \mathcal{R}^n | \mu_i \ge 0, ~ \mu^T \mathbf{1}=1, ~ A\mu =0 \}$ where $\mathbf{1}...

Better tactics for removing redundant constraints than Linear Programming?
After reading:
Detection of Redundant Constraints
It appears that linear-programming is the most commonly known way to remove ALL redundant constraints from a system of inequalities of the form
$$ ...

Has anyone developed a technique to generate a polytope given (possibly redundant) inequality constraints? [closed]
I've found a few papers that deal with removing redundant inequality constraints for linear programs, but I'm just trying to find the vertices for a feasible region, given a set of inequality ...

Finding optimal linear transformation for intersection of convex polytopes
I previously posted this on MathSE and am now trying here.
I have the following situation, as shown in the following diagram:
$W=\{w_i\}_{i=1..|W|}$ is a set of vertices (show in diagram in blue) ...

Find the minimum distance between two convex hulls
We work over $\mathbb{R}^N$. Let $\mathbf{P}_1$ denote the hyperplane constructed using $N$ points, each of which is on a different axis (there are $N$ axes). We denote by $\mathbf{P}_2$ the convex ...
