D.16.2.31 minkowskiSum

Syntax:
Polymake::minkowskiSum( polytope p, polytope q )
Polymake::minkowskiSum( polytope p, cone c )
Polymake::minkowskiSum( cone c, polytope q )
Polymake::minkowskiSum( cone c, cone d )
Assume:
same ambient dimension.
Type:
polytope
Purpose:
the Minkowski sum of the two input arguments.
Note:
The Minkowski sum of two cones is just the cone generated by their union.
