#### D.16.2.28 maximalValue

`Syntax:`
  `Polymake::maximalValue(` polytope p, intvec v `)`
`Assume:`
  v lies in the negative dual tail cone of p.
`Type:`
  int
`Purpose:`
  the maximal value of the linear form v on p.
`Note:`
  The first coordinate of v corresponds to a shift of the maximal value since p is considered as a polytope in the plane (first coordinate) = 1.
`Example:`
