I would like to know if there is a way to obtain the v-representation of a polyhedron from its definition by inequalities like

${x \geq 0, y \geq 0, y + x \leq 10}$

I find the opposite in the documentation. (If possible in higher dimension, because i can always solve for the solution.

To get some autonomy, you can get informations on the Polyhedron constructor as:

sage: Polyhedron?

See in particular the ieqs parameter.

Once your polyhedron is defined, and assigned to the name, say P, you can use Tab completion:

sage: P.<TAB_COMPLETION>

to see all the methods available. You will see that there is a vertices method.

It is also possible to get the full V-representation using the Vrepresentation method.
