Hello.

The Pointset_Powerset domain has a difference_assign operator.
If I remember correctly, when instantiated to used NNC_Polyhedron,
the operator should be precise.

For instance:

pset1 = { A >= 0 }
pset2 = { B = 0, A = 0 }
pset1.difference_assign(pset2) = { A >= 0, B > 0 }, { A >= 0, -B > 0 }, { B = 0, A > 0 }

Examples of its use (in the C++ interface) can be seen in

   tests/Powerset/difference1.cc

where, however, it is instantiated with the C_Polyhedron class.

As for the Prolog interface, this should be the foreign predicate to call:

extern "C" Prolog_foreign_return_type
  ppl_Pointset_Powerset_NNC_Polyhedron_difference_assign
  (Prolog_term_ref t_lhs, Prolog_term_ref t_rhs);

Let us know if it works as expected.

Dear developers of PPL,

Is it possible to directly compute the set-difference of two pointset powersets?

In particular, I’m interested in the precise complement; 

convex difference approximations are not sufficient for my case.

Kind regards,

Jaco van de Pol
