toSublattice -- calculates the preimage of a polytope in the sublattice generated by its lattice points

Synopsis

Usage:

Q = toSublattice P
Inputs:
- P, a convex polyhedron, which must be compact
Outputs:
- Q, a convex polyhedron, preimage of P in the sublattice generated by its lattice points

Description

toSublattice can only be applied to polytopes, i.e. compact polyhedra. It calculates a basis of the sublattice generated by its lattice points, and then takes the affine preimage under the corresponding map.

i1 : P = convexHull transpose matrix {{0,0,0},{1,0,0},{0,1,0},{1,1,3}}

o1 = P

o1 : Polyhedron

i2 : toSublattice P

o2 = Polyhedron{...1...}

o2 : Polyhedron
