NAME

6       vinci - volume computations
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vinci [OPTIONS] FILE
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Vinci computes the volume of a polytope whose vertices, defining hyper‐
13       planes and/or incidences of vertices and facettes are stored  in  files
14       following  Avis'  and  Fukuda's polytope format.  The vertices are sup‐
15       posed to be in a file with extension '.ine', the hyperplanes in  '.ext'
16       and  the  incidences  in  '.icd'  (see  the  sample files 'square.ext',
17       'square.icd' and 'square.ine').
18
19       Its basic call is 'vinci file' where 'file' stands for  the  polyhedron
20       file  name  without  extension, e. g. 'vinci square'.  In this case the
21       existing files and  installed  additional  packages  are  analysed  and
22       according  to the problem type an appropriate volume computation method
23       is chosen automatically.

OPTIONS

28       -m [LABEL]
29              Without a label, show all implement volume computation  methods.
30              With a label, use that volume computation method.
31
32       -s LEVEL
33              Specify  a  positive integer, the number of recursion levels for
34              which intermediate results are stored.  A higher value speeds up
35              certain methods considerably while needing more storage space.
36
37       -r SEED
38              Set  the random seed used for determining the objective function
39              for Lawrence's formula to the specified integer.
