Abstract. Linear Relation Analysis [CH78] suffers from the cost of operations on convex polyhedra, which can be exponential with the number of involved variables. In order to reduce this cost, we propose to detect when a polyhedron is a Cartesian product of polyhedra of lower dimensions, i.e., when groups of variables are unrelated with each other. Classical operations are adapted to work on such factored polyhedra. Our implementation shows encouraging experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
