+ The C-library cddlib is a C implementation of the Double Description
+ Method of Motzkin et al. for generating all vertices (i.e. extreme points)
+ and extreme rays of a general convex polyhedron in R^d given by a system
+ of linear inequalities:
+
+ P = { x=(x1, ..., xd)^T : b - A x &gt;= 0 }
+
+ where A is a given m x d real matrix, b is a given m-vector
+ and 0 is the m-vector of all zeros.
+
+ The program can be used for the reverse operation (i.e. convex hull
+ computation). This means that one can move back and forth between
+ an inequality representation and a generator (i.e. vertex and ray)
+ representation of a polyhedron with cdd. Also, cdd can solve a linear
+ programming problem, i.e. a problem of maximizing and minimizing
+ a linear function over P.
