Description
p is considered to be a point in the ambient space of the second argument, so the number of rows of
p must equal the dimension of the ambient space of the second argument. The function computes the smallest face of the second argument that contains
p. If the second argument is a
Polyhedron the output is a
Polyhedron and if it is a
Cone the output is a
Cone. In both cases, if the point is not contained in the second argument then the output is the empty polyhedron.
