Description (last modified by )
As reported in this sage-devel thread, the intersection of polytopes is sometimes very wrong
a = Polyhedron([[0, -1, 1], [1, -1, 1], [1, 1, -1]]) b = Polyhedron([[0.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, 1.5, -0.5]]) c = a.intersection(b)
Here c
should have been empty but is equal to b
.
We fix it by upgrading to cddlib 0.94m, installing symlinks so that consumers of cddlib that have not been updated to work with the new header file locations (#29413) continue to work.

Note that with data in comment:2 one has
sage: Polyhedron(eqns=new_eqns) The empty polyhedron in RDF^3
so the emptiness should have been detected earlier.
comment:6 Changed 23 months ago by
Are you proposing that we test whether the equations are infeasible ourselves as a workaround?
Sounds like a workaround that should work for us.
Is cdd
specifically excluding this case?
comment:7 Changed 23 months ago by
Something like
new_eqns_matrix = matrix(new_eqns) feasible_directions = new_eqns_matrix.right_kernel_matrix() if feasible_directions.column(0).is_zero(): initialize_empty_polyhedron()
should work.
comment:8 Changed 23 months ago by
On the other hand, with RDF data and the internal representation used by cdd
, it is not so hard to come up with (ugly) examples on which it can fail to produce a meaningful answer.
I'd say that computing c
like in the ticket description should throw an error,
as a
is exact and b
is not.
Or at the very least print a warning like
sage: a = Polyhedron([[0, -1, 1], [1, -1, 1], [1, 1, -1]],base_ring=RDF) ....: b = Polyhedron([[0.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, 1.5, -0.5]]) sage: a.intersection(b) /mnt/opt/Sage/sage-dev/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/sage/geometry/polyhedron/backend_cdd.py:151: UserWarning: This polyhedron data is numerically complicated; cdd could not convert between the inexact V and H representation without loss of data. The resulting object might show inconsistencies. warn("This polyhedron data is numerically complicated; cdd could not convert between the inexact V and H representation without loss of data. The resulting object might show inconsistencies.") A 2-dimensional polyhedron in RDF^3 defined as the convex hull of 3 vertices
comment:9 Changed 23 months ago by
it's also weird that no warning is printed in this case:
sage: a = Polyhedron([[0, -1, 1], [1, -1, 1], [1, 1, -1]]) ....: b = Polyhedron([[0.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, 1.5, -0.5]]) ....: b.intersection(a) A 2-dimensional polyhedron in RDF^3 defined as the convex hull of 3 vertices
as if seeing the exact a
to intersect b
with convinces cdd that everything should be fine.
comment:10 follow-up: ↓ 12 Changed 23 months ago by
The behavior of coercing base rings is the correct and expected behaviour, I would say.
The failure of cdd
has nothing to do with inexactness:
sage: a = Polyhedron([[0, -1, 1], [1, -1, 1], [1, 1, -1]], backend='cdd') sage: b = Polyhedron([[0, -1/2, 3/2], [1, -1/2, 3/2], [1, 3/2, -1/2]], backend='cdd') sage: a.intersection(b) A 2-dimensional polyhedron in QQ^3 defined as the convex hull of 3 vertices
comment:11 Changed 23 months ago by
cdd
for some reason determines that one of the equations is redundant. After this the calculation is correct. For this reason, no warning is printed. Because converting from Vrepresention to Hrepresentation works.
The output of cdd
is numerical consistent, but incorrect.

OK, I see, you're right - I thought it's an inexactness issue, such as computing rank of an RDF matrix, sorry.

It seems that the system cdd will also leak into singular:
Singular/m4/gfanlib-check.m4
:
AC_CHECK_HEADERS([setoper.h cdd/setoper.h cddlib/setoper.h]) if test "x$ac_cv_header_setoper_h" = xno -a "x$ac_cv_header_cdd_setoper_h" = xno -a "x$ac_cv_header_cddlib_setoper_h" = xno then if test "x$ENABLE_GFANLIB" = "xyes"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([Error, setoper.h is missing!]) fi

comment:28 Changed 17 months ago by
Singular always prefers <cdd/....h>
over <cddlib/....h
. This means that on debian a system cdd will always be prefered, if I'm not mistaken.
I don't know if this leads to any problems?
We could patch singular to modify the preference to <cddlib/....h>
over <cdd/....h>
. If we set up the path correctly, then sage's cdd will be prefered, even if there is a system cdd that is also in <cdd/....h>
. Right??
This would be preferable in general I think (for singular as well). If there is a seperate install of cdd, it will always be in cddlib/
.
comment:29 Changed 17 months ago by
I suppose we can also just install a few symlinks in cddlib's spkg-install. Then we could finish the present ticket without having to wait for all the dependencies. Later, in a followup ticket when packages have been updated, we could eliminate the symlinks again.
comment:30 Changed 17 months ago by
We could to that with the symlinks and singular will pull in the correct library then, I think (at least if my assumption that the path is an ordered list and we lock for headers from sage first is correct).
I don't think we have to wait on singular. It's been leaking all along prefering the cdd
system one over sage's header. It also checks for cddlib
, so it won't fail.
comment:31 Changed 17 months ago by
- Work issues changed from rebase on dependencies to rebase on dependencies, -I$SAGE_LOCAL/include/cddlib for gfan
gfan only checks plain cdd.h
In fact it looks to me, like gfan wouldn't be able to pick up a systems cdd at all (because the headers are in the subfolder cddlib resp. cdd). So that is actually a bug in the install system. Because if you have cdd installed in your system, but gfan not, then you won't be able to build gfan.

- Work issues changed from rebase on dependencies, -I$SAGE_LOCAL/include/cddlib for gfan to rebase on dependencies, -I$SAGE_LOCAL/include/cddlib for gfan, topcom configure
We should also update topcom's configure patch to match t, the updated version of latte. This should be easy, as we completely control topcom's configure
comment:33 Changed 17 months ago by
Polymake is a different topic.
According to this https://github.com/polymake/polymake/blob/c2a326f240b11a06e1b1d5fd1c2ca7278bbe60a2/bundled/cdd/support/configure.pl
we probably need to specify the path to cdd. But I wouldn't know how to make this work for the systems cdd. But then again, I don't understand perl at all.
comment:34 Changed 17 months ago by
I think if we only make sure things don't get worse as they have been, this ticket is very much doable.
We probably need a follow up ticket to fix gfan to work with systems cdd.
Edit: I see, we ignore system cdd installs, if headers are in a subfolder. This is why I have cdd installed in both the system and in sage as well. I guess with the current ticket, we know exactly what we need to do, to be able to drop this.

Replying to gh-kliem:
I'm a bit confused on why you deleted the work issues. Did you forget to push something?
I thought the result of our discussion was that by installing the symlinks, we do not have to fix anything in the other packages.
comment:40 Changed 17 months ago by
Or is there a package that no longer finds a prefix-less system cdd?
comment:41 Changed 17 months ago by
I see.
Ok, then technically the latte upgrade isn't a decency anymore.

OK... the new configure check works correctly on homebrew-macos-standard
(result: yes

(result: no
).

Looks like a
cdd
bug.For some reason
cdd
thinks that row1
is redundant. If you drop an inequality, everything is fine.
