- Return the Schur cone in ``n`` dimensions.
+ Return the Schur cone in ``n`` dimensions that induces the
+ majorization ordering.
INPUT:
- - ``n`` -- the dimension the ambient space.
+ - ``n`` -- the dimension the ambient space.
+
+ - ``lattice`` -- (default: ``None``) an ambient lattice of rank ``n``
+ to be passed to the :func:`Cone` constructor.
OUTPUT:
- A rational closed convex Schur cone of dimension ``n``.
+ A rational closed convex Schur cone of dimension ``n``. Each
+ generating ray will have the integer ring as its base ring.
+
+ If a ``lattice`` was specified, then the resulting cone will live in
+ that lattice unless its rank is incompatible with the dimension
+ ``n`` (in which case a ``ValueError`` is raised).
