Convex sets in Python for manipulating and visualizing convex sets.

This paper introduces pycvxset, a new Python package to manipulate and visualize convex sets. We support polytopes and ellipsoids, and provide user-friendly methods to perform a variety of set operations. For polytopes, pycvxset supports the standard halfspace/vertex representation as well as the constrained zonotope representation. The main advantage of constrained zonotope representations over standard halfspace/vertex representations is that constrained zonotopes admit closed-form expressions for several set operations. pycvxset uses CVXPY to solve various convex programs arising in set operations, and uses pycddlib to perform vertex-halfspace enumeration. We demonstrate the use of pycvxset in analyzing and controlling dynamical systems in Python.
