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

Synopsis

• Usage:

  F = maxFace(w,P)

  F = maxFace(w,C)

• Inputs:
  • w, a matrix, over ZZ or QQ with only one column representing a weight vector
  • P, a convex polyhedron
  • C, a convex rational cone
• Outputs:
  • F, Depending on the input, a Cone or a Polyhedron, the face where w attains its maximum
