D.16.2.7 gorensteinIndex

Syntax:

Polymake::gorensteinIndex( polytope p )

Assume:

p is Gorenstein, i.e. n*p+v is reflexive for some dilatation n and translation v.

Type:

int

Purpose:

returns a factor n such that n*p+v is reflexive for some translation v.

Note:

you can check whether p is Gorenstein by Polymake::isGorenstein(p); the translation v can be computed via Polymake::gorensteinVector(p).
