Cone + Cone -- computes the Minkowski sum of two cones

Synopsis

Description

Computes the Minkowski sum of C1 and C2. This is the cone C1 + C2 = {x + y | x in C1, y in C2}. Note that C1 and C2 have to lie in the same ambient space.

See also minkowskiSum.
i1 : C1 = posHull matrix {{1,2,3},{2,3,1},{3,1,2}}

o1 = {ambient dimension => 3           }
      dimension of lineality space => 0
      dimension of the cone => 3
      number of facets => 3
      number of rays => 3

      dimension of lineality space => 0
      dimension of the cone => 1
      number of facets => 1
      number of rays => 1
