An important tool in Systems Biology is the stoichiometric modeling of metabolic networks, where the stationary states of the network are described by a high-dimensional polyhedral cone, the so-called flux cone. Exhaustive descriptions of the metabolism can be obtained by computing the elementary vectors of this cone but, owing to a combinatorial explosion of the number of elementary vectors, this approach becomes computationally intractable for genome scale networks.
