[sage-support] Re: Finding numerical solutions to an inequality in multiple variables

I don't know any algorithmic way to solve arbitrary polynomial inequalities. But e.g. for fixed integers i,j,k you get only linear constraints in the remaining variables. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-s

Looking at the polyhedral computation documentation, I don't think it does non-linear equations--is there another way of doing that in Sage? Cal On Dec 5, 1:45 pm, Volker Braun wrote: > I don't think maxima does polyhedral computations in its assume facility, > so you probably get the wrong answ

That would explain why it wasn't working. I've never done polyhedral computations before, but I will look at your example and the reference manual and see what I can do! Thank you! On Dec 5, 1:45 pm, Volker Braun wrote: > I don't think maxima does polyhedral computations in its assume facility,

I don't think maxima does polyhedral computations in its assume facility, so you probably get the wrong answer. We do, however, have quite a lot of tools for polyhedral computations: sage: P = Polyhedron(ieqs=[(1,2), (10,-7)]) sage: P A 1-dimensional polyhedron in QQ^1 defined as the convex hull
