Title |
Normaliz -- a tool for discrete convex geometry |
Abstract |
Normaliz started in the late nineties as a tool for the normalization of affine monoids. Meanwhile it has grown into a versatile package for computations in discrete convex geometry: it computes lattice points in polyhedra, or, from a different perspective, solves linear diophantine systems of inequalities, equations and congruences. This scope has given it a variety of applications, expected and unexpected ones. We will explain the computation goals of Normaliz and some of its algorithms. |
