I am glad you found something useful in polymake. Let me point out that polymake scripts differ slightly from general perl scripts. They should start out with something like use application "polytope"; to set the scope (i.e., the active application). polymake's determinant function lives in the appl...
Is there a way to tell polymake to use the polymake det function? This is impossible to answer without seeing your script. I do not know about pdl. That is, if you would post that script, it might require a bit of explanation. If not, is there is an efficient way to compute the multiplicity of a se...
To get an idea I would recommend to look at code in polymake's source, e.g., normal_fan.cc. While that is about a different big object type, its use is similar.
Via SCIP (and tosimplex) polymake can solve arbitrary (mixed) integer linear programs.
Please look at the code for MIN_WEIGHTS in apps/fan/rules/subdivision.rules for an example which you can modify to your needs.
polymake 4.0 comes with a new function which solves your very problem! fan > print $HC33->MIN_WEIGHTS; polymake: used package scip SCIP - Solving Constraint Integer Programs SCIP is a solver for Mixed Integer Linear and Nonlinear Problems that allows for an easy integration of arbitrary constraints....
This is to announce the release of polymake 4.0. We bumped up the version major number in order to mark a few breaking changes, which resulted in some major reshuffling behind the scenes. However, most of these will only affect the programmers among the polymake users: * Data file format switched fr...
If you have an server with multiple cores (like 20), which algorithm can make use of this? Where do i find information on this? Again, please consult that paper ;-) There are currently two parallel convex hull codes available (that I am aware of): normaliz and lrs (in its mplrs version). The polyma...
Questions like these appeared in this forum in several guises (and have been answered, see, e.g., https://forum.polymake.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1693 ). I am aware, however, that for non-experts it may not be obvious that these questions are essentially the same. So I answer them again. 1. When I ca...
This is to announce the release of polymake 3.6. This time we mainly focused on new mathematical concepts and algorithms. In particular we now have: compactifications of tropical hypersurfaces; see Kastner, Shaw and Winz, arXiv:1612.09526 (implementation by the authors) tropical Voronoi diagrams; se...
