Title: Segments in enumerating edges

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36322

We introduce the concept of a segment of a degenerate convex polytope specified by a system of linear constraints, and explain its importance in developing algorithms for enumerating the faces. Using segments, we describe an algorithm that enumerates all the faces, in time polynomial in their number. The role of segments in the unsolved problem of enumerating the extreme points of a convex polytope specified by a degenerate system of linear constraints, in time polynomial in the number of extreme points, is discussed.
