Gift Wrapping for Pretropisms
Abstract: The gift wrapping method constructs the convex hull of a point configuration facet after facet.
Given a tuple of polytopes, a pretropism is a vector perpendicular to a face of dimension at least one of each polytope in the given tuple.
We consider the application of the gift wrapping method to the computation of pretropisms.
