Hi,
I'm trying to verify a claim in Halbwachs' paper on factoring polyhedra ("Some ways to reduce the space dimension in polyhedra computations" is the journal version). Specifically, he claims that omitting a common equality relation from the convex hull computation yields not significant speedup. I've tried to run a convex hull calculation, once with the common equalities added and once with the common equalities omitted and found quite a difference in performance. However, I added the equality as two opposing inequalities. My question: are the two opposing inequalities not immediately turned into one equality by the Constraint class? If not, then this might explain the speed difference I'm seeing.
Any help appreciated, Axel.
