I would like compute the vertices of the convex hull of finitely many points in some \mathbb{R}^{n}, where the coordinates of these points could be rational numbers or irrational numbers like \sqrt{2}.

I know that PolyhedralSets[ConvexHull] is a direct command, however it does not support irrational numbers. But if I transform all coordinates into floating point numbers, for some rational numbers the rounding error would be large enough to affect the result. For example, after the transform some collinear points are no longer collinear.

Thanks!
