Introduction¶
Cython wrapper for the Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL)
The Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL) is a library for polyhedral computations over the rationals. This interface tries to reproduce the C++ API as faithfully as possible in Python. For example, the following C++ excerpt:
Variable x(0);
Variable y(1);
Constraint_System cs;
cs.insert(x >= 0);
cs.insert(x <= 3);
cs.insert(y >= 0);
cs.insert(y <= 3);
C_Polyhedron poly_from_constraints(cs);
translates into:
>>> from ppl import Variable, Constraint_System, C_Polyhedron
>>> x = Variable(0)
>>> y = Variable(1)
>>> cs = Constraint_System()
>>> cs.insert(x >= 0)
>>> cs.insert(x <= 3)
>>> cs.insert(y >= 0)
>>> cs.insert(y <= 3)
>>> poly_from_constraints = C_Polyhedron(cs)
The same polyhedron constructed from generators:
>>> from ppl import Variable, Generator_System, C_Polyhedron, point
>>> gs = Generator_System()
>>> gs.insert(point(0*x + 0*y))
>>> gs.insert(point(0*x + 3*y))
>>> gs.insert(point(3*x + 0*y))
>>> gs.insert(point(3*x + 3*y))
>>> poly_from_generators = C_Polyhedron(gs)
Rich comparisons test equality/inequality and strict/non-strict containment:
>>> poly_from_generators == poly_from_constraints
True
>>> poly_from_generators >= poly_from_constraints
True
>>> poly_from_generators <  poly_from_constraints
False
>>> poly_from_constraints.minimized_generators()
Generator_System {point(0/1, 0/1), point(0/1, 3/1), point(3/1, 0/1), point(3/1, 3/1)}
>>> poly_from_constraints.minimized_constraints()
Constraint_System {-x0+3>=0, -x1+3>=0, x0>=0, x1>=0}
As we see above, the library is generally easy to use. There are a few pitfalls that are not entirely obvious without consulting the documentation, in particular:
- There are no vectors used to describe - Generator(points, closure points, rays, lines) or- Constraint(strict inequalities, non-strict inequalities, or equations). Coordinates are always specified via linear polynomials in- Variable
- All coordinates of rays and lines as well as all coefficients of constraint relations are (arbitrary precision) integers. Only the generators - point()and- closure_point()allow one to specify an overall divisor of the otherwise integral coordinates. For example:- >>> from ppl import Variable, point >>> x = Variable(0); y = Variable(1) >>> p = point( 2*x+3*y, 5 ); p point(2/5, 3/5) >>> p.coefficient(x) mpz(2) >>> p.coefficient(y) mpz(3) >>> p.divisor() mpz(5) 
- PPL supports (topologically) closed polyhedra ( - C_Polyhedron) as well as not necessarily closed polyhedra (- NNC_Polyhedron). Only the latter allows closure points (=points of the closure but not of the actual polyhedron) and strict inequalities (- >and- <)
The naming convention for the C++ classes is that they start with
PPL_, for example, the original Linear_Expression becomes
PPL_Linear_Expression. The Python wrapper has the same name as the
original library class, that is, just Linear_Expression. In short:
- If you are using the Python wrapper (if in doubt: that’s you), then you use the same names as the PPL C++ class library. 
- If you are writing your own Cython code, you can access the underlying C++ classes by adding the prefix - PPL_.
Finally, PPL is fast. For example, here is the permutahedron of 5 basis vectors:
>>> from ppl import Variable, Generator_System, point, C_Polyhedron
>>> basis = range(0,5)
>>> x = [ Variable(i) for i in basis ]
>>> gs = Generator_System();
>>> from itertools import permutations
>>> for coeff in permutations(basis):
...    gs.insert(point( sum( (coeff[i]+1)*x[i] for i in basis ) ))
>>> C_Polyhedron(gs)
A 4-dimensional polyhedron in QQ^5 defined as the convex hull of 120 points
DIFFERENCES VS. C++
Since Python and C++ syntax are not always compatible, there are necessarily some differences. The main ones are:
- The - Linear_Expressionalso accepts an iterable as input for the homogeneous coefficients.
AUTHORS:
- Volker Braun (2010): initial version (within Sage). 
- Risan (2012): extension for MIP_Problem class (within Sage) 
- Vincent Delecroix (2016-2020): convert Sage files into a standalone Python package, interface bit_array, interface congruence 
- Vincent Klein (2017): improve doctest support and Python 3 compatibility Split the main code into several files. Remove the _mutable_immutable class. 
Using in Cython¶
All types from ppl are extension types and can be used with Cython. The following is a short sample of Cython code using pplpy:
from ppl.linear_algebra cimport Variable
from ppl.constraint cimport Constraint_System
from ppl.polyhedron cimport C_Polyhedron
cdef Variable x = ppl.Variable(0)
cdef Variable y = ppl.Variable(1)
cdef Variable z = ppl.Variable(2)
cdef Constraint_System cs = Constraint_System()
cs.insert(x >= 0)
cs.insert(y >= 0)
cs.insert(x + y + z == 1)
cdef C_Polyhedron poly = C_Polyhedron(cs)
print(poly.minimized_generators())
Each extension type carries an attribute thisptr that holds a pointer to
the corresponding C++ object from ppl. Continuing the above example, one can
do:
print('dim = %lu' % poly.thisptr.space_dimension())
To avoid name collisions, the original C++ class names are prefixed with
PPL_, for example, the original Linear_Expression becomes
PPL_Linear_Expression. The Python wrapper has the same name as the original
library class, that is, just Linear_Expression. All ppl declarations
are done in the .pxd file ppl/ppl_decl.pxd. Only few functionalities
from ppl are exposed in ppl_decl.pxd. It is also preferable to avoid
mixing C++ ppl objects with Cython pplpy extension types.
To compile a Cython extension using pplpy you need to:
- add the path of your pplpy installation to - include_dirs
- link with the - ppllibrary
Here is a minimal example of a setup.py file for a unique Cython file
called test.pyx:
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Build import cythonize
import ppl
extensions = [
    Extension("test", ["test.pyx"], libraries=['ppl'], include_dirs=ppl.__path__, language='c++')
]
setup(ext_modules=cythonize(extensions))

Variables are used as basic blocks in order to build more complex linear expressions. Each variable is identified by a non-negative integer, representing the index of the corresponding Cartesian axis (the first axis has index 0). The space dimension of a variable is the dimension of the vector space made by all the Cartesian axes having an index less than or equal to that of the considered variable; thus, if a variable has index i, its space dimension is i+1. - INPUT: - i– integer. The index of the axis.

For instance, in the following example the linear expressions - e1and- e2are equivalent, since the two variables- xand- zdenote the same Cartesian axis:- >>> x = Variable(0) >>> y = Variable(1) >>> z = Variable(0) >>> e1 = x + y; e1 x0+x1 >>> e2 = y + z; e2 x0+x1 >>> e1 - e2 0 - id(self)¶
