How to read off the facets of polytopes from their Gale diagrams and affine Gale diagrams?

203 Views Asked by At

We have this theorem:

Let $P = conv(V) \subset \mathbb{R}^d $ be a d-polytope. Let B be the Gale transform of $\{v_1,...,v_n\}$. Then $conv\{v_j|j \in J\}$ is a face of P iff either $J=[n]$ or $0 \in relint(conv\{b_k|k \not\in J\}) \subset \mathbb{R}^{n-d-1} $

When it comes to actual problems that I want to solve by hand, such as these two:

the Gale diagram (for the first problem) makes it hard to read off the facets.

Are there any other ways to do it by hand?
