Title
Polynomial inequalities representing polyhedra
Abstract
Our main result is that every n-dimensional polytope can be described by at most 2n−1 polynomial inequalities and, moreover, these polynomials can explicitly be constructed. For an n-dimensional pointed polyhedral cone we prove the bound 2n−2 and for arbitrary polyhedra we get a constructible representation by 2n polynomial inequalities.
