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).
