Horoballs in simplices and Minkowski spaces

We obtain precise descriptions of all horoballs for Hilbert's geometry on simplices and for normed finite-dimensional vector spaces with norm given by some polyhedron. Certain geometrical consequences are deduced and several other applications are pointed out, which concern the dynamics of impo...
