Within this paper we study the Minkowski sum of prisms ("Cephoids") in a finite dimensional vector space. We provide a representation of a finite sum of prisms in terms of inequalities. -- Convex analysis ; Minkowski sum ; polytopes

This volume is a monograph on the geometric structure of a certain class of ("comprehensive") compact polyhedra called Cephoids. A Cephoid is a Minkowski sum of finitely many standardized simplices. The emphasis rests on the Pareto surface of Cephoids which consists of certain translates of...
