A quick estimate for the volume of a polyhedron (Q6635461)

The polytope can be defined as the convex hull of a finite set of points or as the intersection of halfspaces, or by a membership oracle, in which case the algorithms extend to the class of all ``well-conditioned'' convex bodies. If \(P\) is a bounded polyhedron defined as the intersection of the nonnegative orthant \(R_+{}^n{}\) and an affine subspace of codimension \(m\) in \(R_n\), the authors presented that a simple and computationally efficient formula approximates the volume of \(P\) within a factor of \(γ_m\), where \(γ > 0\) is an absolute constant.
