Description changed by darij:

Old description:

> As far as I recall, a point v on a convex polyhedron P is a vertex of P
> if and only if there exists a vector w in the linear span of P such that
> no real number p satisfies v + pw \in P. Knowing such a w is a good
> certificate for v being a vertex.
>
> Do we have a method for finding such a w ?

New description:

 As far as I recall, a point v on a convex polyhedron P is a vertex of P if
 and only if there exists an affine hyperplane in the linear span of P
 which intersects P only in v. Knowing such a w is a good certificate for v
 being a vertex.

 Do we have a method for finding such a w ?
