Extract

In this chapter, we (a) present the notion of a polyhedral representation and illustrate its importance, (b) demonstrate via Fourier--Motzkin eliminaton that every polyhedrally representable set is polyhedral, and (c) outline the calculus of polyhedral representations. As an immediate application, we demonstrate that a bounded and feasible LP problem is solvable.

Keywords

  • polyhedral representation
  • Fourier--Motzkin elimination
