In this paper, we propose a new method for removing all the redundant inequalities generated by Fourier-Motzkin elimination. This method is based on an improved version of Balas' work and can also be used to remove all the redundant inequalities in the input system. Moreover, our method only uses arithmetic operations on matrices and avoids resorting to linear programming techniques. Algebraic complexity estimates and experimental results show that our method outperforms alternative approaches, in particular those based on linear programming and simplex algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
