Description
contains determines if the first argument contains the second argument. Both arguments have to lie in the same ambient space. When the first argument is a Cone or Polyhedron, it tests if the equations of the first argument are satisfied by the generating points/rays of the second argument.
For example, we can check if the 3 dimensional crosspolytope contains the hypercube or the other way around:
i1 : P = hypercube 3
o1 = P
o1 : Polyhedron
|
i2 : Q = crossPolytope 3
o2 = Q
o2 : Polyhedron
|
i3 : contains(Q,P)
o3 = false
|
i4 : contains(P,Q)
o4 = true
|
We can also check if the hypercube lies in the positive orthant.
i5 : C = coneFromVData matrix {{1,0,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,1}};
|
i6 : contains(C,P)
o6 = false
|
i7 : P = affineImage(P,matrix{{1},{1},{1}})
o7 = P
o7 : Polyhedron
|
i8 : contains(C,P)
o8 = true
