+    SETUP::
+
+        sage: from mjo.cone.nonnegative_orthant import nonnegative_orthant
+        sage: from mjo.cone.schur import schur_cone
+
+    EXAMPLES:
+
+    Verify the claim that the maximal angle between any two generators
+    of the Schur cone and the nonnegative quintant is ``3*pi/4``::
+
+        sage: P = schur_cone(5)

+        sage: actual = max([arccos(u.inner_product(v)) for u in G for v in H])
+        sage: expected = 3*pi/4
+        sage: abs(actual - expected).n() < 1e-12
+        True
+
+    TESTS:
+
+    We get the trivial cone when ``n`` is zero::
