/**
A PolyhedralCone is represented by linear inequalities and equations. The inequalities are non-strict
and stored as the rows of a matrix and the equations are stored as rows of a second matrix.

A cone can be in one of the four states:
0) Nothing has been done to remove redundancies. This is the initial state.
1) A basis for the true, implied equations space has been computed. This means that
   the implied equations have been computed. In particular the dimension of the cone is known.
2) Redundant inequalities have been computed and have been eliminated.
   This means that the true set of facets is known - one for each element in halfSpaces.
3) The inequalities and equations from 2) have been transformed into a canonical form. Besides having
   a unique representation for the cone this also allows comparisons between cones with operator<().

Since moving for one state to the next is expensive, the user of the PolyhedralCone can specify flags
at the construction of the cone informing about which things are known.

PCP_impliedEquationsKnown means that the given set of equations generate the space of implied equations.
PCP_facetsKnown means that each inequalities describe define a (different) facet of the cone.

Each cone has the additional information: multiplicity and linear forms.
The multiplicity is an integer whose default value is one. It can be set by the user.
When a cone is projected, it can happen that the multiplicity changes according to a lattice index.
The linear forms are stored in a matrix linearForms, whose width equals the dimension of the ambient space.
The idea is that a collection of cones in this way can represent a piecewise linear function (a tropical rational function).

Caching:
When new properties are computed by changing state the information is stored in the object by updating equations and inequalities.
When some other properties are computed, such as rays the result is cached in the object. Each cached property has a corresponding flag telling if a cached value has been stored.
These methods
for these properties are considered const. Caching only works for extreme rays at the moment.

Notice:
The lineality space of a cone C is C\cap(-C).
A cone is ray if its dimension is 1+the dimension of the its lineality space.

Should the user of this class know about the states?

need to think about this...
Always putting the cone in state 1 after something has changed helps a lot.
Then all operations can be performed except comparing and getting facets with
out taking the cone to a special state.


Things to change:
- Thomas wants operations where the natural description is the dual to be fast.
  One way to achieve this is as Frank suggests to have a state -1, in which only
  the generator description is known. These should be stored in the cache. If it
  is required to move to state 0, then the inequality description is computed.
  This sounds like a reasonable solution, but of course, what we are really storing is the dual.

 - Basically all data in the object should be mutable, while almost every method should be const.

 - A method should set the cone in a given state if required. The reason for this is that
   it will be difficult for the user to figure out which state is required and therefore
   will tend to call canonicalize when not needed.

 - Cache should be added for more properties.

Optimization:
- When inequalities can be represented in 32 bit some optimizations can be done.

More things to consider:
- Does it make sense to do dimension reduction when lineality space / linear span has been
  computed?


When calling generated by rays, two flags should be passed.
