Abstract
We consider the homogenized linear feasibility problem, to find an x on the
unit sphere satisfying n linear inequalities aiTx \ge 0. To solve this
problem we consider the centers of the inspheres of spherical simplices, whose
facets are determined by a subset of the constraints. As a result we find a new
combinatorial algorithm for the linear feasibility problem. If we allow
rescaling, this algorithm becomes polynomial. We point out that the algorithm
also solves the more general convex feasibility problem. Moreover,
numerical experiments show that the algorithm could be of practical interest.
