D.16.2.28 maximalValue

Syntax:
Polymake::maximalValue( polytope p, intvec v )
Assume:
v lies in the negative dual tail cone of p.
Type:
int
Purpose:
the maximal value of the linear form v on p.
Note:
The first coordinate of v corresponds to a shift of the maximal value since p is considered as a polytope in the plane (first coordinate) = 1.
Example:
