On the Complexity of Some Basic Problems in Computational Convexity: II. Volume and mixed volumes



Authors: Peter Gritzmann and Victor Klee

ABSTRACT

This paper is the second part of a broader survey of computational convexity, an area of mathematics that has crystallized around a variety of results, problems and applications involving interactions among convex geometry, mahematical programmiong and computer science. The first part discussed containment problems. This second part is concerned with computing volumes and mixed volumes of convex polytopes and more general convex bodies.
