A polyhedral cone is a convex cone with a finite number of extreme rays.

Definition[edit | edit source]

Ziegler defines a polyhedral cone cone(Y) as the set of all linear combinations with nonnegative coefficients of a finite set of vectors Y .[1] In the case of the empty set, we define .

Equivalently, a polyhedral cone can be defined as the convex hull of the origin and a finite set of rays extending from the origin.

Grunbaum[2] generalizes this definition to allow an apex other than the origin, notated where a  is the apex. Otherwise, the definition is the same.
