Abstract:
The conventional procedure for folding a system of linear inequalities based on the Fourier–Chernikov algorithm is supplemented with techniques for eliminating redundant inequalities, which considerably counteracts the increase in the system dimension. Exact and approximate methods are proposed, which are brought to algorithmic form and software implementation. Numerical results are discussed.
