Abstract

A bounded polyhedron (or a polyhedral cone) can be given by either an intersection of linear inequalities, which is thus called intersection-form, or a convex combination (or nonnegative linear combination) of some given points, which is thus called sum-form. This paper first proposes a simple and effective method to transfer a bounded polyhedron or a polyhedral cone from the intersection-form to the sum-form. A new method is proposed to transfer a bounded polyhedron (or a polyhedral cone) from the sum-form to the intersection form. Both procedures can be completed in finite number of iterations. Numerical examples are given for illustration.
