Description
hyperplanes returns the defining affine hyperplanes for a polyhedron
P. The output is
(N,w), where the source of
N has the dimension of the ambient space of
P and
w is a one column matrix in the target space of
N such that
P = {p in H | N*p = w} where
H is the intersection of the defining affine half-spaces.
For a cone
C the output is the matrix
N, that is the same matrix as before but
w is omitted since it is 0, so
C = {c in H | N*c = 0} and
H is the intersection of the defining linear half-spaces.
