Description: The volume is one of the central properties of a convex body, and
volume computation is involved in many hard problems.  Applications range from
rather classical ones as in convex optimization to problems in remote fields
like algebraic geometry where the number of common roots of polynomials can be
related to a special polytope volume.

Part of the fascination of the subject stems from the discrepancy between the
intuitive notion of "volume" and the actual hardness of computing it.  Despite
this discouraging complexity - algorithms in general need exponential time in
the input dimension - steadily growing computer power enables us to attack
problems of practical interest.

Vinci is an easy to install C package that implements the state of the art
algorithms for volume computation.  It is the fruit of a research project
carried out at the IFOR (Institute for Operations Research) at ETH Zürich, in
collaboration with Benno Büeler and Komei Fukuda.
