D.13.4.13 ellipticNF
Procedure from library polymake.lib (see polymake_lib).
- Usage:
- ellipticNF(polygon); polygon list
- Assume:
- polygon is a list of integer vectors in the plane such that their
convex hull C has precisely one interior lattice point; i.e. C is the
Newton polygon of an elliptic curve
- Purpose:
- compute the normal form of the polygon with respect to the unimodular
affine transformations T=A*x+v; there are sixteen different normal forms
(see e.g. Bjorn Poonen, Fernando Rodriguez-Villegas: Lattice Polygons
and the number 12. Amer. Math. Monthly 107 (2000), no. 3,
238--250.)
- Return:
- list, L such that
L[1] : list whose entries are the vertices of the normal form of
the polygon
L[2] : the matrix A of the unimodular transformation
L[3] : the translation vector v of the unimodular transformation
L[4] : list such that the ith entry is the image of polygon[i]
under the unimodular transformation T
