Abstract

The problem of eliminating unknowns from a system of linear inequalities is considered. A new fast technique for verifying Chernikov rules in Fourier-Motzkin elimination is proposed, which is an adaptation of the “graph” test for adjacency in the double description method. Numerical results are presented that confirm the effectiveness of this technique.
