e-antic 1.0.1
Normaliz now uses the e-antic release 1.0.1 for algebraic polyhedra:
https://github.com/flatsurf/e-antic/releases/tag/1.0.1
This requires the update of other optional packages, which is handled automatically by the included install scripts.. (See INSTALL or thedetails.)
Algorithmic extensions (in addition to various small improvements):
- We have added the Lawrence algorithm for polytope volumes by signed decomposition into simplices. It opens a new order of magnitude for volume computations for polytopes defined by few inequalities.
- The descent algorithm for volumes now has a variant exploiting isomorphisms of faces.
- One can compute "raw" automorphism groups directly from the input data.
- One can now ask for pulling triangulations and placing triangulations.
The corresponding version of PyNormaliz is 2.15:

IMPORTANT. normaliz-3.9.0.zip and tar.gz uploaded July 2 were incomplete. The critical file missing was install_scripts_opt/install_nmz_antic.sh. You can extract it from the source repositories automatically created by GitHub or (better) extract the new version attached now.
February 08, 2022: Use Mac binary only with -x=1 or update to version 3.9.2.
