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:
