We present an algorithm polvol for the computation of the d-dimensional volume V (P) of a bounded polyhedron P⊂ R d. It is shown that V (P) is determined by the local properties of P at all its vertices. So our method consists in letting a hyperplane “sweep” through R d, collecting the local information available at every vertex a k of P. This leads to an additive contribution to the volume from every a k, the sum of these contributions being V (P). It is assumed that P is represented in Boolean form as described in [13].
