About algorithm for testing whether a point is in a V-polyhedron

Hi there,

I have two questions and I wonder if any of you may know the answer.

1 What algorithm does sage use to test whether a given point is in a polyhedron, namely in the function polyhedron.contains()?

  1. Is there a difference in the algorithm according to whether the V-polyhedron is a V-polytope or is unbounded?

Thank you, and best regards, Guillermo
