Description
The Hilbert basis of the cone
C is computed by the Project-and-Lift-algorithm by Raymond Hemmecke (see below). It computes a Hilbert basis of the cone modulo the lineality space, so it returns the list of one column matrices that give the Hilbert basis of the Cone if one adds the basis of the lineality space and its negative. For the Project-and-Lift-algorithm see:

Beginning with Macaulay2 version 1.24.11, this method calls the internal function
rawHilbertBasis which calls the C++ library
libnormaliz.
