maxFace -- computes the face of a Polyhedron or Cone where a weight attains its maximum

Synopsis

Description

maxFace computes the face of the given Polyhedron P or Cone C where w attains its maximum.
i1 : P = crossPolytope 3

o1 = P

o1 : Polyhedron
i2 : w = matrix {{1},{-1},{0}}

o2 = | 1  |
     | -1 |
     | 0  |

              3       1
o2 : Matrix ZZ  <-- ZZ
i3 : F = maxFace(w,P)

o3 = F

o3 : Polyhedron
i4 : vertices F

o4 = | 1 0  |
     | 0 -1 |
     | 0 0  |

              3       2
o4 : Matrix QQ  <-- QQ
