Computing convex hulls and counting integer points with polymake

Combinatorics 2015-11-30 v2 Optimization and Control

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to report on the state of the art of computing integer hulls and their facets as well as counting lattice points in convex polytopes. Using the polymake system we explore various algorithms and implementations. Our experience in this area is summarized in ten "rules of thumb".
