vertexEdgeMatrix -- computes the vertex-edge-relations matrix

Synopsis

Description

vertexEdgeMatrix computes the matrix M where the columns are indexed by the edges and the rows are indexed by the vertices of P and has 1 as an entry if the corresponding edge contains this vertex and 0 otherwise.
i1 : P = cyclicPolytope(3,5)

o1 = {ambient dimension => 3           }
      dimension of lineality space => 0
      dimension of polyhedron => 3
      number of facets => 6
      number of rays => 0
      number of vertices => 5
