Say we have a convex polytope in standard form: \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{rl} \mathbf{A}\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \\\\ \mathbf{x} \ge 0 \end{array} \end{equation*} Are there any known methods for finding a hyperplane $\mathbf{d} \mathbf{x} +d_0= 0$ that splits the polyhedron in a way that t...

This is what I suggested before the synonyms were created: The existing deprecated tags should be blacklisted

In most cases only one tag should be used for all questions after a synonym is created. All synonyms should point to this canonical tag, and all questions should be retagged to the canonical tag. Fortunately, moderators have a tool to merge tags, so you don't have to do that by hand. Just notify...
We have had many tag synonyms approved, but the old tags (ie the synonyms) don't automatically become the new tags (the masters) on the existing questions. You're saying that there's a trick to get this to happen automatically? — gung - Reinstate Monica Jun 11, 2012 at 13:47
No, not automatically as merging tags isn't something that can be undone easily. Moderators have a tool to merge tags, but they have to start it manually, it's not automatically done when a synonym is created. — Mad Scientist Jun 11, 2012 at 13:49
Yes, the mod interface offers the option to merge tag synonyms. This is an irreversible step, though. As a mod, I am reluctant to make merges solely to work around a "feature" of the search system. Searching ought to recognize tag synonyms — whuber Jun 11, 2012 at 17:11
