Can min{<a,r> | r in P} be computed?
Let P be a polytope. The paper I'm reading uses the notation
<a, P> = min{<a,r> | r in P}
Can this value be computed in sage?
Yes, this is exactly linear programming ! Note that given a polytope, there is a method named .to_linear_program()
to make a linear program out of it (you will then have to set an objective corresponding to r
).
